Sorry, I need to take that back. It's RHEL 3, RHEL 4 which we don't run uses Linux 2.6 but not much else is updated.<br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br><span class="gmail_quote">From: <b class="gmail_sendername">

<a href="mailto:asterisk-users@lists.digium.com">asterisk-users@lists.digium.com</a>><br><br></span>I've used Asterisk on a bunch of RH 7.3 machines which were then replaced by RHEL 4. It is very stable, my biggest compliant is that RHEL(or CentOS, which is a direct rip-off) uses outdated packages (Linux
2.4.x, Apache 1, Mysql 4, php 4, etc) and Linux
2.4.x requires certain USB hardware to use zaptel timing without a hardware card, so we have a bunch of these dual xeon machines with the wrong USB hardware and can only run MeetMe on the one with the t1 cards. <br><br>So we're moving everything over to SuSE Linux, has more up-to-date packages, still very stable and generally runs asterisk very well.

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I've been doing a lot of playing, and a lot of
reading, and it seems people are split as to whereas if they're running
their favorite Linux distro and asterisk or Trixbox. I'm getting closer
to really looking at a production environment and I'm just looking for
any opinions. I'm really enjoying learning linux and asterisk, so
initial "ease of use" isn't really a huge benefit to me. In
the end stability and upgradeability will be my main concerns.</span></font></p>
