[App_rpt-users] Virtual node

Sun Sep 14 21:31:05 UTC 2014

The basics are the same no matter which flavor of Linux you run.
Install the base operating system. Install the required libraries for 
Asterisk. Download the source, compile and install. Setup the 
configuration file and go. You are building Asterisk the same way Jim 
builds it to create the Acid image.

The nice thing about building a virtual machine is that it's easy to 
stop take a snapshot and then go on. If you have a problem, revert to 
the last snapshot and go from there.
