[wellylug] FW: FWD: Install Linux OS - Asterisk

[Alick Wilson]

Hi Francisco

Downloads are here:
- Current Downloads | trixbox http://www.trixbox.org/downloads
- Downloads - PBX in a Flash http://pbxinaflash.net/downloads/ 
- Asterisk at Home or Asterisk at Work in 30 MINUTES :: AsteriskNOW |
Downloads http://www.asterisknow.org/downloads

There is extensive documentation about Asterisk on the Internet. Here is
some of note:
- Asterisk Documentation Project http://www.asteriskdocs.org/ 

I guess you can install the Linux version under a virtual machine under
Windows 2000 or later. The VMWare version is, of course, ready to run under
VMWare on Windows.

Good luck.

Alick

 Dear Alick , 

Do you have the software ? Can I run it in parallel with Windows OS?

Hi

I suggest one of the following Asterisk distros:
- Trixbox CE, which is available either as a bootable install CD-ROM or
VMWare image. I have been running Trixbox CE for several years on a junk PC
(currently Pentium 700 MHz with 256 MB memory and 8 GB hard disk).
- PBX in a Flash, which is available either as a bootable install CD-ROM or
VMWare image. PBX in a Flash is a fork of Trixbox CE. I am contemplating
replacing Trixbox CE with PBX in a Flash at my next upgrade.
- AsteriskNOW, which is available only as a bootable install CD-ROM. The
install is similar to Trixbox and PBX in a Flash, the telephony
configuration is simpler (and less capable).

No prior Linux knowledge is required for any of these options. Telephony
configuration is done from a web browser.

As an alternative to VMWare under Windows 2000, you might consider
installing from CD-ROM on a junk PC. Each of these distros installs and runs
perfectly well on a Pentium 400 MHz with 128 MB memory and 8 GB hard disk.

Good luck.
