[ILUG] PBX for home use

[Ivan Griffin]

Don't have any direct experience with it, but heard (via a FLOSS Weekly 
podcast) about Askozia, which seems to be a 
cut-down/low-resources/easy-to-use Asterik variant?

http://www.askozia.com/

>From their blurb:

   "Askozia®PBX is a complete telephone system. It can speak to nearly any 
telephony technology in the world and is configured via a highly intuitive 
WebGUI. Designed to run on low-resource systems, this is embedded 
Asterisk® 1.6.1.
   "In less than 20MB we've packed: our Linux distribution, our 
multilingual WebGUI, multilingual language prompts, music-on-hold, 
conferencing and voicemail. As well as more than 160 Asterisk® modules 
which can be configured for custom solutions."

Cheers,
Ivan.

I guess the quickest way to get going would be something like Trixbox, except for previous comments about installation.  I've been reading a bit about Freeswitch, but its main benefits over Asterisk seem to be scalability, not really a concern for me in this case.
