Hi, I want to quickly mention that I've had great success with running Asterisk in the under-appreciated Linux-VServer environment.
This is not so much a virtualisation environment as a system partioner on steroids. Nothing to do with running windows on Linux and suchlike, but a good way to run lots of Asterisk and other stuff isolated from each other. There is only one kernel, and hardware is not virtualised. A particular guest We run about 10 Asterisk instances, together with web servers, Mysql and more. All on a 1GB RAM Pentium D box. CPU and memory to spare. hildegard steve # vserver-stat CTX PROC VSZ RSS userTIME sysTIME UPTIME NAME 0 82 266.5M 20.6M 21h19m47 8h04m51 26d02h24 root server 8 63 710.6M 1.4G 14m10s98 5m31s37 26d02h20 ctel_web 9 13 1.1G 31.8M 16m28s43 14m02s46 25d05h57 ctel_pbx 10 19 694.8M 172.7M 2h01m43 19m59s65 20d07h58 voipconnect 11 8 927.9M 98.9M 40m43s42 10m09s30 26d02h21 ctel_admin 12 5 210.5M 21.5M 5h13m35 36m41s61 26d02h21 ctel_db 13 8 903.4M 55.2M 3m00s10 1m09s40 26d02h20 ctel_intranet 15 5 213M 1.2M 9m09s35 12m51s00 26d02h19 xconnect 33 29 261.2M 22.7M 0m07s65 0m09s13 3d08h43 testtrunk 56 13 1.1G 10M 1m44s45 1m18s94 26d02h21 aaaaaaa 57 13 1.1G 13.9M 8m47s52 8m46s10 26d02h21 bbbbbbb 58 13 1.1G 16.1M 54m29s99 24m46s22 26d02h14 ccccccc 60 9 293.4M 31.9M 10h44m42 2h00m55 26d02h20 ddddddd 61 13 1.1G 6.7M 12m45s11 13m26s42 26d02h19 eeeeeee (26 days uptime?
