You can use trixbox but be aware of the following.

Trixbox scatters it's config files. Some stuff is kept in the
database, some in the conf files.
You have to keep your configuration in specific files that won't be overrritten.
Trixbox has it's own contexts for everything so when people give you
instructions that work on a plain jane asterisk box it won't work.

Trixbox does not have a mailing list. The forums suck. There is no
real support from anybody. Everybody is asking questions and maybe
somebody will answer your question maybe they wont.

People who use trixbox are not writing AGI scripts by and large so I
don't think you will get any help in that regard at all.

I am using trixbox and I am starting to feel like I would have been
better off with just a plain asterisk box for my agi work.
