[asterisk-users] Intro and question

[Steve Matzura]

Anthony,


No, I had no intention of doing any of those things, for I know not what 
they are or why I would need or want to be doing them. Maybe I should 
have just stuck with the original idea of installing from Debian distro. 
I'm exploring the phreaknet option now. If I come up with a running 
system, I'm just going to leave it that way and work with it as it is.
