[Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk

[mattf]

Oh boy, time for distro wars :)

I have found that for some reason Asterisk seems to run better on Slackware
than Redhat, that's just my personal non-scientific observations, but we
have 4 Asterisk servers in production(two redhat 9, one slackware 9.1 and
one slackware 10.0) with almost identical hardware and the Slackware boxes
have a lower average load over the same Asterisk usage. I have also talked
with several people who are very happy with Mandrake, Gentoo and Debian.
Those are the distros that most of the Asterisk crowd seem to use. There is
also an Asterisk-centric distro but I haven't heard much about it lately.

And as always check out the Wiki:

Hi folks;  Can anyone recommend the best Linux OS (versions, etc) to run
Asterisk?  I'd like to be able to run the Text To Speech apps and some of
the extended functions of the software (no phone hardware needed, all Voice
over IP stuff)... I'm currently running Asterisk on Mandrake Linux (vesion
10 I think?) but I'm having difficulty compiling the TTS stuff.

I'm just wondering if there's a widely used version that pretty much works
with everything...?

Andy
