Centros is another Linux distro
Trixbox is the new name for Asterisk@Home
basically it's Asterisk with a web GUI
pure Asterisk is command-line programmed

My Asterisk box (actually Trixbox) is just that
a box.
Actually an old PC that just sits in the corner connected to
the LAN and the mains. No keyboard mouse or monitor.
The fact it is Linux based is neither here nor there, I
administer it via its web interface from a Windows
machine on my network (or even remotly via the internet
should I so wish) and if I need access to the console
I log in with an SSH client.


Voxalot is a free hosted Asterisk solution for your
outgoing providers, you do have to pay to register
your incoming providers. You only get very basic
features.
