    The question comes down to the differences between Centos 5.x and
    Debian 8.x<br>
    Install media: CD only or CD and USB flash<br>
    Kernel version: 2.x or 3.x<br>
    Support for newer hardware<br>
    Supported updates of distribution<br>
    Zaptel vs DAHDI<br>
    Ongoing AllStar support.<br>
    <br>
    The old adage applies, If it works, don't fix it. If you are happy
    with ACID keep it. If you are doing a new install, it's up to you.<br>

    Understand, I'm slightly biased.<br>
