similar to: Linux basics and Asterisk basics

Hello, I am just starting to research Asterisk and I would like to install it on a PC to try out. I have looked around quite a bit but I haven't found much information on the Linux part. I know you need to put Linux on the PC first but what version or flavor of Linux do you recommend? I contacted Red Hat and they had not heard of Asterisk and they said Asterisk is not certified for Red Hat.

Installing R on Knoppix Knoppix is a small LINUX distribution (http://www.knoppix.net/) runnable from a CD (without an installation) It can be also installed on a hard drive from a single CD. The idea was to reuse an old laptop with 6gb hard drive and 128mb memory. I had few days experience with Linux and few years experience with R. The latter was not required :-) The Knoppix installation

I'm trying to get the total Linux/* installation size as small as possible. I'm wondering if anyone has looked at the installed packages list from the Redhat installation [rpm -qa] and has parsed out all packages not needed for * to run. I follow the custom install guide from Andy Powell but the installation yields 948+ Meg with 340 installed packages. I'm sure most of those packages

[ Apologies for the cross-post, and I hope this is seen as sufficiently on-topic. Anybody who feels otherwise, please drop me a line off-list. ] Earlier this week I sent out the announcement below for the newest version of Quantian. Quantian is a bootable dvd (based off Knoppix & clusterKnoppix) with well over 1gb of scientific, numerical or quantitative software -- and now contains almost

Hi. I've recently picked up a 256MB compact flash card and CF->IDE adapter. I'm wanting to put a smaller version of knoppix on here. I came across miniknoppix here: http://www.inittab.org and decided to have a play around with that. So far I have opened up the ISO image and copied all the files out. I have put a boot sector onto the CF by putting the CF into the IDER adpater then

When powered up, the red and green lights keep on and the screen is blank. Does any one know a procedure to fix this ? I do not have a contract with Cisco, I have even call a

I referred to the entry rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 in the output of "cat /proc/mounts", that is not really very much explicative, due to the setting "auto" in /etc/fstab and to the fact that file system had has_journal flag and no ext3 module was mounted. But I was wrong: I think that if you have an ext3 fs and you mount it as ext2, you continue to see the has_journal flag with
