[asterisk-users] Switching from FreeBSD to Linux - which distro?

Slackware is nice if you want to use a full distro because they use a 
pretty much vanilla kernel.  Additional benefits is very few services 
are started by default.  I use CentOS on almost all general server 
setups for small businesses and find that there are a bunch of 
unnecessary services that need to be turned off for optimum 
performance.  Slackware's basic policy is if you need a service started, 
turn it on yourself.  (I used Slackware in the past and would still 
recommend it for certain applications--Asterisk being one of those).  
Coming from a BSD background, you might find your way around Slack 
easier than other distributions.

If you want something dedicated to Asterisk, you might want to give 
Astlinux a look ( http://www.astlinux.org ).
