[Asterisk-Users] Linux and Windows

[Henry Devito]

Virtual PC was bought out  a couple years ago by a year Microsoft.  They use
virtual pc's code to run MS virtual Server.  I do not see any reason why you
can not run linux on it.

Does MS Virtual server support running linux? Thought you could only run
windows on it?

Vmware's server products are apparently very good. Their Workstation product
is really good, and has seamless support for many different OS's. We have
used it here for almost two years now and its been invaluable for testing
and development.

You might also want to consider MS Virtual Server, as it is geared more to
running as a service. VMware workstation / VirtualPC are more like desktop
tools (although I think they have some higher-end server-like products, but
I haven't used them).

>Asterisk is working only in Linux? Can not work in Windows 2000?
 
I'm an unashamed windows user.  So I like to game, sue me ;)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned VMware or virtualPC. I setup my first
Asterisk system in VMware and when I wanted to drop a generic line card in
an old 500mhz system for my home final server, I was prepared and had the
experience of doing the linux/asterisk install and simply enabled Samba and
ported the configuration files over.  Not to mention, for multiple
deployments, I have my vanilla linux/asterisk install virtual image ready to
go for any new servers.

Virtual machines are simply brilliant in that one can create a decently
complex "virtual" network scenario and simulate trunking between X amount of
servers without the need for a server farm.  If one didn't need hardware in
the box, then VMware is optimial for runtime servers.  If my hardware fails
I'm back up and running on another server running VMware in a matter of
minutes.
