[Asterisk-Users] FYI: Simple Small Asterisk install..

[Sri]

Thanks Dorian for the response. Guess you are using Gentoo as any other 
flavor on fully loaded mode.
Though its nice to know Asterisk performs well on Gentoo too, it would 
be great to see if any customized installation  has been made for 
asterisk, to get it in a min. resource/full throttle mode.
i am up such a system this weekend.  will share my thoughts once i get 
it to work.
