[RossLUG] Tonights Meeting

[Tim Gibbon]

Hello,

Thanks for last nights great demo Jon. I was looking to see how
difficult it would be to install FreePBX on Debian and it's not too
bad:

I wonder why they decided to go down the install from shell script
route instead of packaging it up into RPMs and .debs.

Still FreePBX looks like it takes a lot of the head scratching over
the Asterisk config files away. Last time I looked at it (6 or 7 years
ago) it was the config (and associated setup time) that put me off as
well as the cost of the Digium cards.

These are the cheapo FXO/FXS cards:

Now whether they are any good or if they are the usual fleabay tat, I
don't know. $637 for the equivalent Digium card though:
