Running Asterisk with FreePBX on CentOS works great.  I started with  
Trixbox and used it for a few weeks before I simply downloaded and  
compiled my own.  Honestly, it is not that hard.  Just follow the  
instructions.  I created a series of scripts to run against a fresh  
CentOS install which deal with compiling and installing everything,  
including the FreePBX dependencies.  I'd be happy to share it.  I  
don't do any video conferencing, and I don't patch Asterisk for faxing.

FreePBX works quite well.  Combined with all the features of modern  
SIP phones, there is nothing you can't do.

I run my systems using the Intel 975XBX2 motherboard (975 chipset),  
which I assembled by buying components from New Egg.  Very stable -  
no issues with CentOS.
