asterisk users - Jul 2012 - Can I install Asterisk normally and then installing the GUI

OK, is there asterisk-gui that differs that freepbx? Or Freepbx is a GUI for
asterisk?

In other words, if I have asterisk and I need to add for it a GUI, is there
asterisk-gui which is differs than freepbx or it is the same?

There have been a handful of other GUIs around, but none have the market share,
support, or feature-set of FreePBX. It is pretty much the defacto standard.

If you're feeling adventurous, give asterisk-gui a try. Last I checked, the
latest code was available from Digium SVN and 'worked better' than from
the tar.gz on downloads.digium.com. But again, that was some time ago, YMMV...
