We are setting up ABE for a client of ours. This is not our first Asterisk install, far from it, but it is our first time using ABE. Here is the problem, ABE only supports Fedora 3 and Red Hat EL3, we typically use CentOS. Our problem with this scenario is that RHEL3 is an old release, we would rather use 4 if we have to, and we have not had good experiences with Fedora. We tried to use Fedora but we are running into some problems with our SCSI card. What distro do most people use with ABE? What happens if we use CentOS?

We use Fedora 3 and ABE-A.1 The pair has been working great for us so far. AK On 11/2/05, Eric Alexander <eric@theuptimegroup.com> wrote:> > We are setting up ABE for a client of ours.

Your ABE purchase comes with Digium support for Installation. You should call them for the answers to your questions.

CentOS 3 and RHEL3 are supposed to be binarily compatible :) I'm not sure how much things have changed between versions 3 and 4. seems glibc or some other important aspect might have changed, but if that's the case, shouldn't compat libraries be able to be installed in CentOS 4? I'm currently using CentOS 4 with asterisk 1.2.0b1, and install and configuration was pretty painless. And since (IIRC) A@H uses centos 3, I am (possibly wrongly) led to believe that asterisk can be made to work on either version. Moj Eric Alexander wrote:> We are setting up ABE for a client of ours.

It is practically the same thing as RHEL 3. If you don't want to use CentOS 3/RHEL 3, there is pretty much no point to getting ABE. There is a list of supported distros for a reason. While I can't speak for Digium (obviously), they will probably be reluctant to support a distro that is not on the list. As a matter of fact, this could apply for CentOS as well. Check with them. -- Kristian Kielhofner
