How about:

1) Turn off the computer.

2) Read the installation guide for the CD.

3) Install the software.

4) Read ATOF to get a clue to the scope of what Asterisk can do.

5) Get frustrated trying to do really cool things within the GUI.

6) Format the drive.

7) Install CentOS.

8) Install Asterisk from source.

9) Learn to configure the configuration files "by hand."

But then, I gladly admit to being a command line weenie.

Thanks in advance,
