“There are two principal changes to the original AsteriskNOW 1.4
release: the replacement of the rPath Linux implementation with the
highly popular and very stable CentOS distribution, and the
integration of the powerful FreePBX admin/user interface– used in
the popular trixbox and PBX in a Flash applications– as an
alternative to AsteriskGUI.“The modular, customizable Web-based FreePBX UI, in particular,
would seem to be moving AsteriskNOW in a new direction–away from
the pared-down, ‘only-what-you-need approach’ more toward an
‘add-components-and-build-complex-applications’ stance.”
