<title>Tested Linux Distributions</title>
<para>
! Asterisk works with most Linux distributions. Many distributions such as RedHat, Fedora,
! Debian, Mandrake and Gentoo have all been used successfully by the developers. If you find
! something doesn't work on any particular system, you may want to file a bug report. See the
! section regarding filing a bug report.

<title>Minimal Kernel Version</title>
<para>
! Asterisk is designed to work on any Linux kernel 2.4. However there is some support for kernel
! 2.6. If you are trying to build a stable system, it is recommended that you use kernel version 2.4.

<title>Required Packages</title>
<para>
! <!-- [OpenSSL and its development libraries, and libnewt for zttool] -->
! Previously there were some packages which were requirements to install Asterisk such as
! readline and readline-devel. Also there is no special hardware required such as a soundcard.
! The only required package is Asterisk itself. If you are using Digium hardware, you will need
! the zaptel package. For T1 and E1 interfaces the libpri package is required. Bison is required
! to compile Asterisk and the ncurses and ncurses-devel packages are required if you wish to build
! the newt tools (e.g. astman).

<title>X100P and X101P</title>
! <para>
! The X100P and X101P are Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) devices which
! allow you to connect the Asterisk PBX to a PSTN line. The only difference
! between an X100P and X101P is a slight difference in chips, but makes no difference
! to it's operation. The X100P uses a single PCI slot and supports FXS
! Loopstart and "Kewlstart" (Loopstart with far end disconnection supervision).
! With the X100P Asterisk supports both incoming and outgoing calls and
! supports ring detection and remote hangup.

<title>TDM400P</title>
! <para>
! The TDM400P is a half-length PCI 2.2 compliant card which allows you to connect
! standard analog telephones and analog lines to a computer. The card uses small
! modules to activate the 4 ports on the card allowing any port to act as either an
! FXO or FXS device. There is an alternate naming convention used when referencing
! the TDM400P. TDM##B where the first hash is the number of FXS (0-4) interfaces and the
! second hash is the number of FXO (0-4) interfaces.
