The same could be said about people who have privately or in the past told me to stop "playing" with FreeBSD and just use Linux. Either way, I am not only comfortable with FreeBSD (and NetBSD and OpenBSD as well, for that matter), but I honestly believe it is a more stable and better all around solution for my requirements. Note, this is not a request to engage in an OS holy war :) My initial concern was why there was little or no attempt to worry about making Asterisk more friendly to other UNIX-like operating systems (what some people refer to as Linux-isms present in the codebase). > Anyways, learn on linux.

I have already started playing with trying to figure out why Asterisk runs so badly under FreeBSD, such as eating 100% of the CPU without warning plus the decidedly non-standard directory structure (as far as FreeBSD's hier(7) cares about). -- Jason T.
