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.<BR>

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.<BR>
