TrixBox is an excellent way to start, but in the long run, if you attempt to
use Asterisk in a business setting, you will probably want to be able to
hardcode the conf files yourself. I have only recently changed over to TrixBox
from a standard installation on a debian system. Honestly, I really don't use
FreePBX much at all. I use it to create new extentions for VMB's since I need
to create a number of them every day for users on my website, but overall I
code my own dialplan. I don't really understand FreePBX well enough, nor do I
really want to put in the effort of learning it since I can already hand-code.
TrixBox just has a couple of nifty features that I enjoy to make daily life a
tad easier. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am have
experimented asterisk long before any gui was available and also currently
working with trixbox, ofcourse working with asterisk directly makes you more
aware but when you start deploying the system you will face management issues
for asterisk, as anyone who deals with asterisk must be experienced enough with
it and that will make the people who support the users a few, while with
trixbox those few people can be left as escalation points and through GUI you
can make other less aware of asterisk administer the day to day tasks. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Trixbox
in my belief is making more people everyday depend on asterisk ofcourse knowing
how to deal directly with asterisk will be a plus but yet this could come by
time with trix box and everyday experience being gained will make them someday
reach that level. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Trixbox
is a great start point to implement asterisk but learning asterisk
configs must also be in schedule to maintain a persistent environment. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>But,
can't it be one way of "learning"? Can't one setup and modify <br>
a Trixbox setup, then peruse the conf files, to get familiar with <br>
(almost) all things Asterisk? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
