AsteriskNOW vs FreePBX. What is the easiest to customize?

Question

I develop asterisk and GUI.

Asterisk GUI were exist several type.

FreePBX, AsteriskNOW, Elastix, Trixbox...

Finally, I have selected two type.

• FreePBX and AsteriskNOW.
• FreePBX is based on php, AsteriskNOW is based on java.

Almost people used FreePBX.

But I don't know that reason.

Answer 1

I have installed AsteriskNOW and asterisk from command line (apt-get install asterisk) to get the best and easiest startup time. All other versions are a pain in the a$$. I would go for apt-get install asterisk since this way takes care of upgrades.

Your question is valid, since there are very few forums and people who can / do help on asterisk. Any question on asterisk deserves a +1.
