My 2c on this....

I don't think IRC is the natural habitat of people who like NOW,
NOW is for people who like web based GUIs. You are much more likely
to find them over in the web based digium forums.

I've been using NOW recently as a test environment. Basically
you can stick a single CD in a PC, re-install and have a know
good asterisk with all the right modules in minutes. When you
trash the machine, you can get back to the starting point in
a few minutes.
