[Asterisk-Users] New To Asterisk - Advice needed

[Cosmin Prund]

I'm fairly new to Asterisk myself and I also started with AAH. 
Unfortunately I had to remove all configuration files generated by 
FreePBX (the GUI of AAH) and started over using http://voip-info.org as 
my guide. Configuration files generated with FreePBX make use of 
advanced functionality available in Asterisk and that in turn makes it 
hard (impossible?) to read for a newby. If you've got some experience 
with Linux and it's kind of configuration files you might be better of 
without AAH. On the other hand I'm in the process of re-installing my 
Asterisk on a fresh Centos 4.3 installation so I can't comment on how 
difficult it is for a newby to install everything from sources. Hope 
I'll be able to manage it :)
