<div dir="ltr">A new official Allstar Link Distribution is now available.<br><br>It is called "DIAL" (Debian Install (for) Allstar Link).<br><br>It is based on 'Debian Jessie', and supports a number of modern motherboards<br>and other hardware configurations, of which the "Old Standard" (ACID) distro<br>sadly fell short.<br><br>It runs a VERY modern 3.X Linux kernel and DAHDI (as opposed to Zaptel, as was<br>in the ACID distro).<br><br>The ISO (installation) image may be downloaded at:<br><br><a href="http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/dial-allstar-netinstall.iso" target="_blank"><a href="http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/dial-allstar-netinstall.iso" target="_blank">http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/dial-allstar-netinstall.iso</a></a><br><br>Download the image, "burn" it to a CD or USB stick, install it, let it do its<br>"installation stuff" (it reboots once or twice), and then, finally log in as<br>'root' with the password 'debian'. You will be taken through a script with<br>a few questions, and then it will be ready to use.<br><br><br>This is a result of a great deal of diligent work by Steve Zingman, N4IRS and<br>Mike Zingman, N4IRR, without whom this would have not been possible.<br><br>Please express your gratitude to them for making this possible.<br><br>Jim, WB6NIL<br><br><br><br><br></div>
