What do I need to run Asterisk?

A computer. A clunker. A piece o’ trash! Nothing exciting really. If you’ve got an old dusty computer sitting in your closet, pull it out and throw knoppix on that bad boy!

Currently I am running the Asterisk PBX on a 1.3 Ghz, 20 gig computer with a 4x cd drive… I have a nice new cd burning drive sitting in a computer next to me (the computer doesn’t work but the cd drive does) but I just haven’t gotten around to putting in the new drive yet seeing as how I don’t really use it. But anyway, I scrapped it together using parts from OOOOLD computers I bought from a thrift shop and I got the case and motherboard from some guy I had some classes with. The point is, you really don’t need much at all. As long as the computer can run linux, you’ll be fine.
