IMHO,

If you don't know enough about Linux/Asterisk/FreePBX to be able to set it
up yourself you should not be doing it for a Production install in a
business environment.

NOTE: Production install in a business environment does NOT include setting
it up in your house with extensions for the kids and wife! That is what
Trixbox is for.

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
