Chaps.
 If you started from scratch now, what would be your Linux distro of 
choice for a purely Asterisk box?
I'm building a few machines to pass on at cost price.

CentOS 4, was available in a "Server" edition. I had problems compiling 
the latest zaptel with that and had to upgrade kernel etc. CentOS 5, 
doesn't offer the server edition.

Fedora 5, and 6, I think had kernel version issues, again I had lots of 
trouble compiling Asterisk with FC6. I don't know if 7 is ok?

Ubuntu is great, I use desktop and server versions. But it is Debian 
based, and the community here and on the UK list tend to use flavours of 
Red Hat with Asterisk, so getting CNET support might be more tricky.

Comments welcome !?

Jon
