[asterisk-users] Any good guides for installing Asterisk on Embedded systems like Alix boards?

[John Novack]

There is a network of telephone switch collectors, worldwide that uses 
Asterisk to interface the network with their switches, as well as 
members who have an interest in these old switches but don't yet have 
one working.
I have personally set up about 20 nodes with AstLinux on HP thin 
clients, 55xx and 57xx, mainly in the US. At least one has a single port 
T1card, the TE110, others use SIP phones and SIP ATA's, others use Cisco 
3810's with a SIP IOS. Several are running on old 55XX versions with 
only 128 Meg of Ram They all simply work. One I monitor closely has been 
up around 180 days now. Configure modules.conf to noload stuff you don't 
need
AstLinux has a nice web interface for ease of configuration.
The older HP thin clients USED to be available on eBay at bargain 
prices, though lately the MagicJack crowd seems to have run up the price 
a bit
As long as you don't want to do any thing fancy, AstLinux will do nicely
