Looks like I am going to be doing my first serious commercial install of FreePBX. I DO mean serious. They are willing to put up with a few glitches initially which is why I have decided they will be a good first client. I have turned down several over the past couple years because I just did not feel comfortable with the state of software/hardware. It seems to work much better now. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good software platform. I have been using Debian Sarge and CentOS 4.3 for testing and feel that either one will do just fine. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations based on experience. Any rock solid installs out there on either as a testimonial?

I recommend determining which distro you're more experienced and comfortable with. -- Nick e: nick.hoffman@altcall.com p: +61 7 5591 3588 f: +61 7 5591 6588 If you receive this email by mistake, please notify us and do not make any use of the email.

I have it running on CentOS just fine. Mike

We started with CentOS but moved to Sarge when it became stable. We have been running several Sarge * servers for 6 to 9 months without any problems. We spent the last 7 years running our ISP on RedHat. Started looking at other distros when the RH policy changed. Tried a bunch. I really like the Debian distro and the strategy behind it. I like the boot speed. I like the simple elegance of apt. We are now in the process of moving all our RH9 machines to Sarge. I don't like the fact that CentOS is nothing more than a copy of RH Enterprise Server. It is almost like running a Windows clone. I would rather find and run something better. Tom
