[Asterisk-Users] small linux distro to run * in old boxes

[Mathew Frank]

Just disable (via the .conf file) and remove most of the apache modules -- 
its very small then.
Small enough to go on a LEAF/LRP to drive the control interface, anyway.

There are a lot of modules that only make sense on a "full" web serving
sitution (like mod_speling for example) but if you get rid of them things
get really light, apache-wise.

Cheers,
Mathew

straight forward "boa" web server can be used?  It would also be nice to
have a super scaled down dedicated box that would rely on a 2nd box for the
database, web support, and such, thus you're fully dedicating the machine to
just *.  I guess it depends how many phones you want to run, and how
streamlined the machine/os needs to be.

webcam server, and a bunch of networking type stuff, and it is around 28 meg
as well.  You can actually boot from CD, and a unique ID derived from the
machine, and the box gets it config via http, and runs without needing write
access to the drive.
