  				<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.
