<pre wrap="">site and got to chapter 4 or 5 and decided to take a break. Which is when I
found AsteriskNow and TriBox and then started wondering if it was really
necessary / worthwhile to figure out all the intricacies of the application
if someones have already created the appliance version of it. In which
case, I was very confused as to the difference btwn AsteriskNow and TriBox.
Thanks!

Last week I posed a similar question to the list as a "noob".
Specifically, I was curious why every one was so adverse to GUI
implementations. Like you, I entered the asterisk world quite
idealistic and oblivious to what is actually required to create a
functional system (still am). I spent the good part of last week
trying to make heads or tails of the AsteriskNOW distro, but finally
gave up in favor of a plain jane Debian install with asterisk and wish
I would have never wasted so much time trying to figure out how the
users.conf worked.<br>

I actually thought that was a bit harsh when I read it...turns out to
be quite accurate. Long story short, I'm learning to be quite
comfortable in the CLI and finding myself more productive in nano
(yes..nano) than I was in the GUI.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
