I have to agree with the below but only if it is an answer to the limited question of "Which is best to use for my Astrisk server". For a server you are using such a small percentage of the Linux distribution that they are effectivly all the same.
A server will not make us of any of the graphical interface or Desk top software. Most * servers run with no keyboard or CRT plugged in. BUT, If you are running an Asterisk server you will likley also have a Linux box for development, testing and general e-mail and web serfing. For this purpose it does matter, a little. They all will do the job but differ in terms of the details of exactly what software is included and how the menu system on the desk top is set up. Still none is better but they are differntent enough that people can have strong prefference. The differences between distributions are minor. I doubt an inexperianced user could tell this Solaris 9 box I'm writing this on from a Linux system. Both run "gnome" and look the same on the surface. But Linux and Solaris are far more different then any two Linuxes. That said, pick a desktop system you like. You can get a free download of any of them or low priced CDs at cheapbytes.com and try them out. Then use the same distribution for your server. > > They're all just Linux. There is no "best".
