Hi Josu,<br><br>I've done it both ways, and they both generally work equally well (so long as the package maintainers are doing a decent job). As Victor mentioned though, the version you wish to install plays a factor in this. I found the Asterisk build in the repos to be a bit out dated.
<br><br>Also, it's always bothered me having to wait on another party to create a package so that I can fix a security vulnerability. I've just gone with the straight from source method for now, but that's all personal opinion on that matter really.
<br><br>The bottom line is that if you want the latest and greatest (in terms of both feature sets and security updates), build it yourself. Apt-get may be easier, but there's plenty of good guides to get you going with building from source.
