[Asterisk-Users] USB handset wanted

[Bill McCready (PCPhoneline.com)]

We are planning to develop versions of our USB based phone and gateway 
products for Linux.  The plan is to make them will work like regular phones 
exactly like our Windows versions do including physically ringing loudly on 
incoming calls.

Which versions of Linux are the most popular at the moment in the workplace 
so we can decide which one to focus our energies on first?

Best regards,
