first.<BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unless you are a strong Linux Guru, I would never
recommend a Fedora release for a production system. I have FC9 here and
FC10. It took me months to eliminate the bugs from FC9, and I still
haven't gotten FC10 to install on the machine I got it for (three months
now). Fedora is cutting edge and puts out a new release probably every six
months with less than usual regard for consistency or stability. I don't
know of anything Asterisk that requires this level of cutting edge
technology. While all the bugs I fought in FC9 are gone, they have been
replaced by a whole new spate of (some still unidentified) bugs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Centos is a much more appropriate distro for
production work. Nothing goes into it until it is known to be rock solid,
and update occur much more slowly. It wouldn't be too far off base to say
that Fedora users are the beta testers for Centos--not explicitly in terms of
versions, but certainly in terms of features and code base. I'm sure there
are other good (maybe even better) distros for Asterisk, I'm not familiar with
all of them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fedora is really at home with someone who is
running a personal web server or media computer or something for a hobby and
likes to have the latest of everything and wants to (or at least is willing to)
play with it, get it to work and help improve it. That isn't the recipe
for running a business.</FONT></DIV>
