[asterisk-biz] full-featured IP-PBX

[Al Bochter]

Bart,

I would agree Trixbox has some useless junk and some good.
And yes you are at mercy of the authors.
Unless you edit the code like I did :-)

EasyVoxBox installs from source and is smaller than Trixbox
Is it any better than Trixbox?  Not sure :-\

But keep in mind you can do things in Trixbox and other distros with a 
click of a mouse that could take you weeks
to setup in a pure Asterisk install.
Editing config by config file.

I think Asterisk NEEDS FreePBX or something like it.

Best regards,

Al Bochter
