Asterisk is better to lift on FreeBSD or on Linux?

Question

linux

Hello!
Subject. I know FreeBSD much better, from Linux I know more or less Debian.
Nothing is planned to be stuck into the server with * except for additional ethernet controllers. An analogue from the city comes to the Asteroid channel bank, *. At the same time, 20-30 calls are planned to the city <-> sip (G 711) clients inside.
Threat
and what kind of iron under this business to take?

Answer 1

IMHO it is easier to use ready-made assemblies (for example, trixbox which is based on CentOS). I'll explain why. Because the finished assembly was tested for compatibility of all modules, if you need to upgrade to a new version, with a high degree of probability none of the configs will break and everything will still work.
But here the load is important. 20-30 calls are kept calm by P4. If a large load is planned, redundancy, etc. then yes, it's better to set everything up from scratch yourself.

Answer 2

Yes, download the skin. If you need help - contact us at forum.asterisk.ru - there are a lot of Asterisk specialists who are more than in the subject.

Answer 3

Over time, I am sure that the system will grow, moreover, it will also need to record conversations of 8-12 calls. As a platform, I suppose to take IBM x3200 M3 (4 Gb RAM, 2 SATA HDD), I think this will be enough even if the system grows twice.
I tend, nevertheless, to the choice in favor of Linux. As far as I understand, it is native for linux)

Answer 4

Linux for sure.
If you are in doubt, read the forums of asteriskers, where french lovers face atypical problems. They are called FreeBSDM-schiks on the forums, as true lovers of BDSM.

Answer 5

Ay thanks!
I know asterisk-support.ru , here's another forum, buzzing.

Answer 6

My acquaintance is an Asterisk specialist, uses Debian and says that he is advised by the developers themselves.
In general, depending on what tasks, if you just call the server copes on any OS.

Answer 7

The choice of Linux has already been made, guys pay attention to the second part of the question =))
There is some uncertainty with iron.

Answer 8

DL360 G3 + Druid OSI. the most it. do not do it on a fryakha - there is a sekas with codecs and everything in general. If it's hard sex hunting, then debian. If you want even tougher with all sorts of perversions - FreeBSD.
ps
my personal server on a freighter, to work on a druid.

Answer 9

It seems that the DL360 G3 is too much for such purposes, and it is 1U, if you buy something in it, it will be a trouble.
Enough perhaps and IBM x3200 M3 (4 Gb RAM, 2 SATA HDD)
