[asterisk-users] out of the box or do it your self?

[David fire]

hi
i had installed many systems, many of them for call centers
i had always installed them from scratch compiling asterisk and writing all
the config from temaplates i did my self.
but i saw so many out of the box solutions and i was thinking how good they
are? to make one like elastix or druid (or any one) you need to know a lot
of linux and asterisk so if a guy (or a group of guys) who know a lot make a
distro maybe it is good enougth...
