Danny,

 Thanks for your help.

OK, guess I got confused by the fact that 8 comes after 4.

Maybe I missed something in the version number or maybe I am just, well, lacking sleep.

When did the version numbers start going backwards?

By the way, I hope I am not top posting but Gmail is a little whacky, trying to get use to it.

Hmmm, so then nothing really major in regards to Queues has changed since the version I am using 1.4.8?

You are actually recommending an older version than I am using?

In regards to CentOS 5 then say 5.3 should be fine?

I usually build from source but I am thinking about just installing CentOS 5.3 and installing it from YUM but I will have to see what version that installs.

Any good or bad things to say about using AsteriskNow?

App_read hangs up the call if an error is encountered in 1.4 (really annoying as I don't want my user to have to enter 2 or more times).  This behavior was resolved in 10.0.

If you put a gun to my head I would say to stay with Centos 5 and either 1.4.42 or 10.0.0-rc2.  10.0.0-rc2 removes a "feature" that was killing me in 1.4, but if you aren't doing IVR stuff, you can stay with what you know.  Another thing to consider though; 1.4.8 is prior to the Zaptel-to-Dahdi conversion so that might cause you some "joy".

I am currently running Asterisk 1.4.8 and have been for quite a while, it has served me well.

Getting ready to build a new box to replace the existing installation of Asterisk.

My primary use of the Asterisk box is run queues. I am sure the queue features and functionality have been updated, expanded since 1.4.8 and I am wondering what version of Ast you guys would recommend. Looking for the best version in terms of queue features, functionality.

Also, an OS recommendation would be great. Been running on CentOS forever and no reason to want to change. Just looking for the best version of CentOS to run the best/stable version of Asterisk on.

To be clear:

Asterisk Version:
OS & Version:

I am even thinking about using AsteriskNow, don't need the FreePBX but I have worked with it before and it used to be possible to still do custom stuff and co-exist with FreePBX. I like having FreePBX available for the simple stuff so it's not a bad thing if it's there. Does it have an intergrated web server that I could run a lightweight control panel on? That would be another plus.

Thanks in advance for any help, been out of touch for a while. I will be doing my research and lots of reading over the next few days but thought it couldn't hurt to see what the general consensus is on these topics.



Danny,
Can you expand on what "feature" 10.0.0-rc2 removed that was causing you problems with IVR?  I am starting to undertake some major IVR scripting so am rather curious.
Thanks,
JohnM
