How to DIY/Setup An Open Source IP PBX Appliance/Server?
<br>
<br>
Good day from Singapore,
<br>
<br>
After reading recent reviews, I gather that Asterisk is the gold
standard when it comes to open source VoIP systems and it is the
most famous open source PBX out there.

The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
<br>
<br>
"Asterisk is a core component in many commercial products and
open-source projects. Some of the commercial products are hardware
and software bundles, for which the manufacturer supports and
releases the software with an open-source distribution model.
<br>
<br>
AskoziaPBX, a fork of the m0n0wall project, uses Asterisk PBX
software to realize all telephony functions.
<br>
<br>
AstLinux is a "Network Appliance for Communications" open-source
software distribution.[15]
<br>
<br>
FreePBX, an open-source graphical user interface, bundles Asterisk
as the core of its FreePBX Distro[16]
<br>
<br>
LinuxMCE bundles Asterisk to provide telephony; there is also an
embedded version of Asterisk for OpenWrt routers.
<br>
<br>
PBX in a Flash/Incredible PBX and trixbox are software PBXes based
on Asterisk.
<br>
<br>
Elastix previously used Asterisk, HylaFAX, Openfire and Postfix to
offer PBX, fax, instant messaging and email functions,
respectively, before switching to 3CX.
<br>
<br>
Issabel is an open-source Unified Communications software which
uses Asterisk for telephony functions. It was forked from the
open-source versions of Elastix when 3CX acquired it.
<br>
<br>
*astTECS uses Asterisk in its VoIP and mobile gateways."

<br>
I would like to DIY/setup an IP PBX appliance/server using free
open source projects.
<br>
Which free open source project, mentioned in the list and links
above, would you recommend to DIY my IP PBX appliance/server?
<br>
<br>
Should I buy a desktop computer or get one of those appliances
listed in the link below to serve as my IP PBX appliance/server?

<br>
Please also refer me to very good, detailed and well explained
guides/tutorials/manuals on setting up open source IP PBX
appliances/servers.
<br>
<br>
Lastly, please recommend a cheap and affordable IP phone (suggest
brand and model) to go along with my DIY open source IP PBX
appliance/server.
