**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 26 02:59:57 2007 Jun 26 16:52:01 hi; i've vaguely interested in using a slug as an asterisk server in our office; can i buy one in the UK? How do I decide which firmware to use? (the website only points out there are different ones) Jun 26 17:07:39 GingerDog: Check the mailing list archives for some background information, and since this channel is remarkably quiet (almost dead, actually), you might pose your question on #nslu2-general as well. Jun 26 17:08:56 As for which firmware, that would best be determined by which one is favored by the implementation of asterisk for the slug. I seem to recall "unslung" being mentioned for that, but I could be wrong. Jun 26 17:10:10 ok Jun 26 17:10:24 the wiki seemed to mention big endian and little endian firmwares Jun 26 17:10:30 are all slugs therefore not equal? Jun 26 17:15:06 All slugs are equal; the operating mode may not be. Jun 26 17:16:39 Unslung is BE, SlugOS can run in either, and the Debian release for the slug is LE. The software must match the operating mode; the "optware" packages for Unslung are BE, the Debian packages are LE, and packages for SlugOS could be either. Jun 26 17:17:24 So, if Asterisk for the slug is an optware package, it would imply BE and Unslung. :) Jun 26 17:19:14 Just a quick perusal of the wiki seems to indicate that Unslung/optware is the best choice. Jun 27 00:04:07 mwester: optware can also run on slugos/be Jun 27 00:20:00 I know. But when it comes to things like asterisk, I also know that it was never intended, tested, or documented to run on SlugOS/BE :) Jun 27 00:21:20 No point in confusing someone new to the world of slugs with over-much technical details... at least IMO. Jun 27 00:49:14 mwester: good point **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jun 27 02:59:56 2007
