I prefer Debian, but if everything works well and if you're
familiar with Gentoo why change?


Gr??e,

I have run Asterisk on several Fedora versions, Debian, Unslung (on the 
NSLU2 or "Slug") and recently Ubuntu. My most critical servers are on 
Debian and new ones will be on Ubuntu LTS.

I have had very few OS specific issues. I have always built from source 
except on the Slug but I noticed that Ubuntu has it in the apt 
repository which would be a great convenience if you are new to Linux or 
manage a lot of servers.

For a newbie, I would recommend an Ubuntu LTS release.

Pick the distro you are most comfortable with.

regards,

Drew

Fedora has a yum install of Asterisk as well.  And while off-topic,
they just added GNURadio to the repos.

Thanks,

I use Slackware.

if it ain't broken don't fixit,
I used debian, now ubuntu,
...but if your thing needs to be production like,
I'd try to use the same distro and chip the Asterisk developers use,
I am not sure, but I believe they tend to be red hat like,
(FC or CentOS will do) and Intel,

I don't know what's prompting you to leave Gentoo but it's gotten
much
better with respect to asterisk very recently.  That's all I use and I
have to say that after a very frustrating year they've come forward
leaps and bounds in the last few months.  They actually have 1.4, 1.6,
and versions of zaptel that work with modern kernels now finally!  If
you haven't already, look into the voip overlay.  They seem to work on
it in spurts of activity and although not much has changed in it for
several weeks it does contain a relatively recent 1.4 version that
works just fine for me on my tiny production environment.

Best regards,

David

I think it's all personal preference.... I'd never recommend anyone
use ubuntu for anything, honestly.

SLES is my #1 pick with CentOS / PNAELV being a close second...
problem with Cent is there's not central administration like there is
in SuSE (YaST2... it's so simple! gotta setup a network no ifconfig up
this route add that just point and click or use the ncurses
interface.. same for just about every service)... not even an
interactive package manager thats usable from the CLI. You might be
able to get by with openSuSE but remember the lifecycles are short,
like Fedora.

Oh, and FWIW a Cisco uses PNAELV as the basis for one of it's most
popular voice products.

I have used Fedora 7 & 8 on both i386 & x86_64.  I have used the RPMs
from
atrpms.net in the past and now I use the RPMs from Fedora.  I have never had 
any trouble with Asterisk, though Zaptel has been quirky now and then, but 
that was always a bug that was resolved upstream in the next version of 
Zaptel.

Personally, I love the "debian way", but I must admit that when it
gets
to Asterisk, I prefer to use a RedHat-based distro like CentOS, first of 
all for the proven reliability, then for the widely used rpm packaging 
system and last because there are many distro CentOS-based that provide 
a stable system with FreePBX and all the stuff :-P
