[asterisk-users] Re: Trixbox vs. Custom install

[Edward Halman]

Hi Stefano,
I am a proponent of the "step-by-step" installation on a complete linux
distribution.  Like someone said in another posting, the GUIs are nice, but
isolate you from the .conf files to the point where customization can be a
bit tricky.  However, Trixbox w/ FreePBX and A2Billing works out of the box
with very little patching or configuration needed.  If A2Billing is all
he/she anticipates needing to do, FreePBX is a mature and stable and he/she
will probably be happy with it.

FreePBX is a bit of a chore to install and configure without Trixbox, if you
don't have a solid understanding of dependencies, linux security, apache and
MySQL.  Same with A2Billing.

Hello,

I'm following the thread "Asterisk at Now vs Trixbox", and I have a 
similar question: if someone is going to install Asterisk, FreePBX 
and A2Billing, should you advice him/her to use Trixbox ... or a 
custom "step by step" installation on a distribution of his/her choice?

Thanks
Stefano
