[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 0.7.1 RH 7.3 RPMS Released

[Jonathan Moore]

I am researching the use of White Box Enterprise Linux. Someone else in a
similar position with a bunch of 7.x boxes created it. He took all the SRPM
files for REL v3 and removed all the Red Hat logos and trademarks. It is the
same software as Enterprise but you can freely copy it. They also modded the
update scripts to work with more generic update sources. The cool thing is the
system is completely compatible with the REL source errata which Red Hat has
promised to continue updating for at least five years. They have also setup a
small system of mirrors to host the update files. It looks very promising. I am
trying this and Debian to see which will be easier to keep updates for. Info and
ISO file available at

http://www.beau.org/~jmorris/linux/whitebox/index.html

Someone else has a similar project going but it didn't seem to be as far along.
