Let me be the first to say: "Pick whatever distro you are comfortable
with"

Distro is more of a personal choice than anything... ultimatly they all have 
the same software available to them (for the most part), they all just do it 
a little bit differently.

Hi There,

I am looking to build an Asterisk server with dual AVM Fritz!PCI cards
linked to 2 BRI in New Zealand. Just wondering if anyone has done
this, and if you have any ideas about the best disto choice for this
task?

I go along with the above, I"ve done this with Mandrake 10.1 and 
OpenSuse 10.1 and 10.3, What I found was that with the Mandrake I used 
chan_capi and patched the Suse supplied driver code to work with 2 Frtz 
cards a lot of work. With the Suse installs I switched to chan_misdn no 
patching and the config was handled bu misdn_init config automagically.
