<div><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt;"><br>Greetings,<br><br>I have a question for those who have done a few professional installs of Asterisk. Is it taboo to use something like AsteriskNow/FreePBX/Trixbox to get a base installation of Asterisk installed and functional for a small office? If not then do you always compile from scratch or use CentOS and the yum repositories? I setup FreePBX for a friend of mine who runs a small call center and I feel guilty profiting from something that so many other people have worked so hard to create. <br>
<br>Ironically <a href="http://www.asterisknow.org" target="_blank">www.asterisknow.org</a> has a 'Download - Free" link but I don't see a 'donate' link. I wouldn't mind demanding my friend contribute some amount to help Asterisk grow but I'm not exactly sure how to do that and what the appropriate amount should be. I know Digium is a proud sponsor so I buy my phones, cards and refer people to their site if they need to buy equipment or an appliance. <br>
<br>Has this topic come up for conversation in the past and if so then what was the outcome?<br><br>Thanks!<br>Dave<br></span></div>
