[757labs] Asterisk system donated, who wants to Trixbox?

[fister at skullfuckers.org]

A 4GB notebook drive probably does not have much life left in it.  It 
should be migrated to a new disk (pata 2.5" are still available) or 
mount /var as NFS and use mysqld on another machine.

Trixbox ui & processing is based on FreePBX.  This is nice but my 
feedback about this is that I do not like the trixbox product, their 
development method or its bugfix/feature latency.  Digium's CentOS repo 
provides built asterisk and kernels in many configurations as well as a 
FreePBX installer, ie. you want IMAP voicemail, simply install the 
package. FreePBX updates itself.  Probably, the extras for polycom and 
cisco will sit right happy on top of FreePBX.  I am using aastra's this 
way - the rpm's from aastra install straight away.

Probably important before any of this is to plan how it will fit into 
the network!
