Hi I wish to install asterisk 1.2 (the latest tar.gz from the site ....not the CVS version) on an HP box with a TE110P (single port E1/T1) My question is which OS would be preferred in this configuration Fedora Core 1 or Fedora Core 3, and are there any install guides out there that are recent enough for asterisk 1.2 I am also open to suggestions for other Operating Systems if any of you feel that FC1/3 are not the best for the job, my only definates are that I use the latest tar.gz from the asterisk.org website not the CVS and also that I will be using the TE110p Any help would be greatly appreciated Gary
IMHO use FC4. Also after the install of the OS and all the required packages do a 'yum update'.

Any thoughts on CentOS-4.2? It is based on RHEL4 update2. It has the 2.6 Kernel. I am currently using CentOS-3.5, which is based on RHEL3 update5, with no issues. The Kernel is 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp. -- -- Steven May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having a better past. --- - --- - - - - - - - -- - - - --- - ------ - - --- - - -- - - - -- - - - "Brett, Gary" <gary.brett@cetelem.co.uk> wrote in message news:8ADF3F2FBF4F2C408C4C47B05CA3D26704478F@HCCEXC02...> Hi > > I wish to install asterisk 1.2 (the latest tar.gz from the site ....not the > CVS version) on an HP box with a TE110P (single port E1/T1) > > My question is which OS would be preferred in this configuration Fedora Core > 1 or Fedora Core 3, and are there any install guides out there that are > recent enough for asterisk 1.2 > > I am also open to suggestions for other Operating Systems if any of you feel > that FC1/3 are not the best for the job, my only definates are that I use > the latest tar.gz from the asterisk.org website not the CVS and also that I > will be using the TE110p > > Any help would be greatly appreciated > Gary > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >

I have my own preferences. But there is a point worthmentioning regarding Fedora: Fedora does not seem to provide long-term maintinance. Security updates for Fedora are provided for a relatively short period. there is a community project called Fedora Legacy to provide maintinance for older Fedoras, but it has ggained reputation of not providing timely updates. So: 1. is there a decent upgrade path? Would you use 'yum upgrade' (or whatever the command is) to upgrade your server from FC3 to FC4? from FC1 to FC4? 2. Alternatively: how well does Fedora Legacy is lately? -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
We do a lot of installs on Fedora (slowly becoming our favorite). Initially clients asked for FC because of compatibility with Red Hat, great package management, etc. With FC4, you get a great set of packages, and not a lot of add-ons required. Asterisk has perfect compatibility with FC3 & FC4 - a good choice. Michelle Dupuis Technical Support Specialist Oxford Consulting Group Ltd. Making IT work for your business...

Look like this thread will become distro war ;) Im using FC3 - * 1.2.1, make sure #up2date b4 compile from tar.gz source working fine... Latest CentOS/Debian should be choice for production. L
>From what ive read on this list and the wiki, centos 4.x has issues with theTE110P card ( a lot of people having issues after first reboot).Would 3.5 be better (I know *@home uses this) Am I right in saying that OS's with the 1.6 kernel still require a lot more "tinkering" than those with the 1.4 kernel ?? Does anybody know what Digiums stance on OS is , I remember speaking to them about 6 months ago and they were recommending a 1.4 kernel version of Debian.

Whatever you choose, there is full binary package support at ATrpms.net. So the asterisk part should be the same on each of those distros, and you can base your choice on other factors of the distribution like stability, EOL dates etc. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
