Well..... my dilema is quite simple - I can't run another PC in the house for economic / environmental / fan noise / RF noise / CoWC (*) reasons ( theres allready 6 running 24/7!! plus at least 4 others , plus windows mobile devices )
However, I do have a second stand alone Linux server not running asterisk in the same DMZ, but theres so much else going on with that box (apache / proftpd / terrabyte+ NAS, virtualisation, webcams, skype gateway, and so on ) that theres no way I can trash it and reinstall ACID - WAYYY too much work.
Is there a "build from scratch" readme in the SVN checkout please ? I just want to ensure I have the "make" order right
Anyone had any success running ACID with a USB sound fob under virtualisation ? I know other asterisk distros had sound stability problems running virtualised?
I'm running a hub (Node 2100) under VMWare ESX with no problems. I have no sound hardware on the VM, so I can't comment on sound issues. It's running on Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
For a "roll your own" readme, I would suggest a place to start is the ACID scripts. I'll be out of town for a few weeks. When I get back I'll post my install script for Debian.

Virtual machines are suboptimal for asterisk, because Asterisk a real time application. My solution was to use small mini-itx systems with solid state disks and/or compact flash for my phone system and my radio system. My main file server is also mini-itx. The 2 asterisk systems draw less than 30W, and the file server draws less than 50W. This is 0.11 kWh. A kill-a-watt meter was used to make these measurements. These can be had for under $30.00 each. I don't know if they make a version for UK 230/240V mains voltage (BS 1363 plug) though. Steve WA6ZFT
