If you want to get Asterisk and Linux working quickly with a web
interface then try 'Asterisk at home'. No setting up at all . Load the
disk and off it goes - it whirs away for about half an hour, only
towards the end does it ask you any questions.
It does reformat your disk though - it is a complete install including
Perl, PHP and Apache. Ideal to go onto an old computer and then be
controlled by your main computer via a web interface.
