<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I have xipar running on a "HP Small Form Factor" desktop, just having issues with uptime, so I've got some experience with it. So far i have two nodes, just waiting for some USB fobs at hamvention.
<br>
<br>
Anyways the curve is expected, as I assume I need to manually compile apt_rpt, and asterisk. I had seen some steps for raspberry pi in here and assumed it would just be about the same.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi Trevor,<br>
<br>
I seriously doubt this approach will give you anything even close to<br>
satisfactory results. Any type of VoIP application requires instantaneous<br>
server availability or your audio quality will be lousy. Virtualized<br>
servers (such as provided by the host you mention) work okay for websites,<br>
etc., where host latency is tolerable. But it flat out won't work for<br>
VoIP.<br>
<br>
For your first step, you *really* need to build a system on a small<br>
dedicated box, using the distro you're considering. Then, try <br>
virtualization using a free package like VirtualBox. Once you've achieved <br>
these steps, next consider how to host the conference server.<br>
<br>
BTW, I'm not trying to dissuade from trying this, but, there will be a<br>
steep learning curve.<br>
<br>

able to just make the machine a public image for others to install as <br>

Amazon AWS. Keep in mind I'm using their free package, 1cpu, 60gb of <br>
storage, and ~600mb of ram. I saw some instructions for raspberri pi, but <br>
I can't seem to find them again. <br>
