[asterisk-users] Is Asterisk a Linux only system?

[Ron Wheeler]

Why not just bite the bullet and move to a supported Linux?
- you can be assured that it works
- updates are tested
- help and support is readily available.
- only takes a few minutes to install the whole setup
- configuration should port easily.

There is almost no Linux administration required once it is set up so 
getting deep into the actual OS is not required.
I have used CentOS (5.x and 6.x) for years without any problems.
I have not tried it with CentOS 7 and would recommend sticking with the 
latest CentOS 6  for a while yet.
I am converting the rest of my datacenter to 7 starting with the main 
firewall/router and a virtual host.
Firewall is now in production but it was a bit of a learning curve for me.

There are big differences between 6 and 7 and I would let some other 
Asterisk users switch before going to 7.

Free advice and worth every cent!
