<p>- on which linux flavour i should start the installation of asterisk
(CentOs,Fedora,Ubuntu)<br>
right now i am using ubuntu 8.04lts<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I use Centos 5.3<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>- What are the essential packages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The book explains which packages you need to get a basic Asterisk up and
running.<br>
<br>
- whats is PRI, BRI interfaces<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>These are used if you want to connect Asterisk to normal standard phone
lines. If you are just using SIP and making internet calls, you don’t need
these. You can call to and from standard phone lines if you get a SIP provider.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Take a look at this website. It has quite a good list of providers:-<o:p></o:p></p>

needed to run asterisk. If you use it, then you wont need to go through most of
the configuration that the book discusses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
