Use the GUI to edit and mage the system, as AstLinux has a somewhat different directory structure than you may be familiar with<br>
You should be up and running in a couple of hours, have a low power < 20 watts, fanless flash based system that will just work in a real case.<br>
The Pi is OK for a playtoy and some testing, but I much prefer the HP thin clients for a robust installation.<br>
I assume you are not doing any fancy call center or heavy database work. For a home or home office it is a really good solution.<br>
AstLinux is also used with other embedded installations on computers with multiple Ethernet ports, acting as router and firewall in addition.<br>
I prefer the component solution personally, which makes the HP thin clients the way to go.<br>

I have built more than 30 of these systems on various HP Thin Clients, used off of eBay with no failures<span class=""><br>

Hello Asterisk,<br>
Back in 2009 I built a small Intel Atom based computer running<br>
Centos 5 for my asterisk system. 5 phones, 2 people 1 POTs<br>
line and six or so SIP numbers. So basically no load. I'm<br>
feeling like it's time to build another machine. It's probably<br>
silly, but it's been six years and I can't upgrade the OS<br>
which is falling behind. I'd likely just put it on a Raspberry<br>
Pi or something like that, but I need the one POTS line and<br>
all I have for that at the moment is a Digium card for a PCI<br>
slot.<br>
<br>
Are there any current thoughts on this?<br>
