[Asterisk-Users] Advice on OS Choice

[Scott Stingel]

Yes, Fedora works fine.  Debian too.  (I've used both)

...and others have successfully used other flavours...  See the Wiki:

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Advice on OS Choice


Hi all,
 
I am currently trying to decide what Operating System is best to go for on a
customer site.  Server will only be running Asterisk / MySQL / Apache / PHP
but nothing else.
 
I have only tested Asterisk on SLES 8.1 however I do have experience with
RedHat 9 as well.
 
However SLES 8 = £599 ex vat and with so many free Linux OS's out there I am
tempted to deploy something else on customer sites.
RedHat 9 is no longer available so although I probably have CD's somewhere I
assume that I cannot actually legally install this now for NEW installs????
 
I dont think I will get any value from support contracts so if there is
anyone out there that has done some customer / 3rd party deployments could
you offer some advice on what you have used and why?
 
Also is there really any difference between using a Standard / Enterprise or
Destop SUSE (Will never require more than two CPUs).  Does SLES 8 bring £599
worth of enhancements to the table over SUSE Desktop or Fedora et al?
 
Is Fedora a good choice?
 
Sorry for the many questions but I am not particularly experienced with
Linux to know what the real difference is with the umpteen versions.
 
thanks as always for any advice
 
Alex

Dear Friends of Ubiquity Software: 
 
As you may have noticed, Ubiquity Software began using the web domain
ubiquity.com earlier this year in addition to the previously established
ubiquity.net for our website and email communications to you.  However,
since that time, a dispute has emerged with respect to actual ownership of
the ubiquity.com domain.

 
As an international software company founded over decade ago, you can always
reach Ubiquity Software under the website www.ubiquity.net
<http://www.ubiquity.net/ <http://www.ubiquity.net/> >  and via email at
@ubiquity.net.  However, we have also chosen to expand our domain to the
more specific www.ubiquitysoftware.com <http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/
<http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/> >  for web and @ubiquitysoftware.com for
email communications.
 
Please use either the historical ubiquity.net or begin to use the new
ubiquitysoftware.com domain for all email communications to Ubiquity
employees from now on. 
  
Thank you.
 
Regards,
 
Ubiquity Software
