Hi there ... first let me introduce myself : french, former sound enginner in the disk industry, I recently switched carrer towards software developpement. In this company I just joined, I've been asked to set up a custom PBX using asterisk. I just got asterisk-java and am currently reading the docs. Smoothly managed to run examples from tutorials and getting the whole picture. I haven't yet decided what distro I'll run the PBX server on, so why not have little poll : What would you guys recommend as a linux distro to work efficiently on asterisk/java programming ? PEACE -- Fred CORNU |

My recommendation would be to just use the asterisk@home distribution and boot a computer from it. Don't bother with handpicking and configuring a linux distribution unless you have a real good reason for it. The asterisk@home project has changed names, so I don't know what impact that is going to have.

I personally don't do any of my java development on Linux anymore; I do it all on a Windows platform. My asterisk server is a separate Linux box. I personally like keeping my experimental asterisk server and development machines as separate beasts. I leave my asterisk server on all the time and install new stuff on it much less frequently than my development machine. My development machine is also a pretty beefy machine whereas my asterisk server is some klunky old box. My PC has loads of tools installed on it. In the cases where I want it all running on one box then I use a VMWare image running asterisk in it. Tony -----Original Message----- From: ast...@li...

While all the fuss it implies :( If you are developing on windows go with the vmware solution suggested by tony. trixbox offers a nice vmware image. This setup will require a powerful dev machine, but hey, since you are developing java apps you will already have one anyway ;) If you are developing on linux you probably already chose a linux distribution and setting up asterisk there shouldn't be too hard.

At the risk of offending people with some advertisement ... BEGIN ADVERTISEMENT My business partner and I will be releasing a prototype of a product in a short time with an automated calling component in it. It will be openly available for download and we will be looking for feedback and other parties interested in this domain. One of the technologies it uses is asterisk-java. If you want to find out more then contact me directly at: to...@am...

Just download sun's jdk rpm for linux, install it, set your path to the new binary locations, and you're done. I don't think the linux distros are allowed to distribute sun's jdk, otherwise they would probably include it out of the box. I'm using sun's jdk with Fedora (3 and 5), and it works just fine. Cam |

I thought I had to remove the GC Java before installing Sun's. Which I did with "yum remove ...". But as a matter of dependencies, a lot of apps got "broken". So I guess I'm gonna stick with Fedora (that is, redo a fresh install) and get Sun's alongside GCJ. As you guessed, I'm quite new to linux, but learning fast (hopefully :) ). thanx again |

How many people do you plan to serve ? What are the key criteria (lower costs, self teaching, ...) that will make you think your project is successful ?

You don't need Asterisk-Java to meet your current requirements just a fairly basic dial plan. wardsback wrote: > On Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:17:33 +0200, Olivier <oza...@my...> wrote: > > >>> Message: 2 >>> Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:03:54 +0200 >>> From: wardsback <war...@no...> >>> Subject: [Asterisk-java-users] A newbie introduction >>> To: ast...@li... >>> Message-ID: <op....@mv...> >>> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=utf-8 >>> >>> Hi there ... >>> >>> first let me introduce myself : >>> >>> french, former sound enginner in the disk industry, I recently switched >>> carrer towards software developpement. >>> >>> In this company I just joined, I've been asked to set up a custom PBX >>> using asterisk. >>> >>> [...] >>> -- >>> Fred CORNU >>> >> Hi, >> >> What would the new "custom PBX using asterisk" be used for ? >> How many people do you plan to serve ? >> >> What are the key criteria (lower costs, self teaching, ...) that will >> make >> you think your project is successful ? >> >> Depending your replies, you could get better advice form the list. >> >> Regards >> > > Basically this system will provide callers with a menu and redirect them. > If destination phone is busy, take a messge and mail it to concerned > person. > really basic for now. > > It would have to serve a dozen of people.
