[asterisk-users] Re: Summary of "Trixbox vs. custom install"

[Allen Casteran]

As Stephen said, good summary.

 From my experience, installing from sources (with yum for updates and 
additional packages) I learned much about what is in the system. Frankly 
I did not find the GUIs to be "ready for primetime" when it comes to 
setting up a system. Using the GUI does not teach you about dialplans, 
SIP, or Zap configurations that are critical to understand if you are 
going to build/run a production system.

Between google, this list,  and some trial and error you should be able 
to get your first system up and running in a reasonable timeframe. The 
people here are experienced and very willing to help.

Best Regards,

Allen.
