I haven't tested it fully, but from first look it seems like a
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS derivative - it uses the anaconda installer, and I
think it uses yum over RPM as the package manager.

As well maintained the "debian based asterisk" is, AsteriskNOW is
maintained by Digium itself. I would think that that counts for
something. In addition, AsteriskNOW attempts to delivery an
out-of-the-box usable Asterisk PBX, which isn't what the debian packages
Asterisk is doing. If you want a simple straight forward install that
gives you an easy to use Asterisk box with little other software
involved, then you get AsteriskNOW. If you want a flexible server that
can do a lot of other things, then you probably want to use something
else - like Debian.
