I used trixbox until Fonality took them over. The problem with trixbox and it's predecessor asterisk@home was that releases were seldom released without major issues. I spent more time fixing delivered bugs than anything else. The upside of that is that I learned a lot about asterisk and freepbx. I got used to immediately upgrading every core component right after install. Now days I don't use Trixbox at all. I've tried several other distributions and for a time liked adminsparadise because it bundled hylafax/avantfax. They stopped updating so I started updating it myself; now their site is gone :( I've been using PBX In A flash since it existed and of all the distros it's been the most stable out of the box. If it had hylafax/avantfax bundled and oslec it would be perfect. End point manager was nice though pbxinaflash has command line tools to set up snom, aastra, grandstream, polycom, cisco, and linksys.. I don't know how well they work though. Anyone know where/when they'll have a Phoenix Asterisk User Group meeting? It's been 'organizing' for about a year ;) JD Geek Girl wrote: > I would like to clarify....trixbox is a great system but the package manager > sometimes has very broken things onit.
