[asterisk-users] RAW asterisk!

[Bill Andersen]

I'm a network admin that maintains 3 commercial Asterisk
servers for my employer.

I am wanting to move away from the "pre-packaged" commercial PBXs
to a more "pure" asterisk setup.  The systems I have utilize a nice
web GUI to make changes, but it really limits what I can do beyond
what they have programmed into their GUI.

Would I be better off starting with:

a) Plain old asterisk from asterisk.org?
  (tutorial suggestions?)

b) AsteriskNow

c) Trixbox (not Pro)

d) other suggestions.

Thanks

Bill
