The Tech That Powers The Almighty ViCiDial!

[martinch]

Here is a picture of my laptop that I use for dev...a nod to all my favourite technologies, many of which power the almighty ViCiDial so this is just a nod to those technologies. May they live on!!!

Also, things got way busier on my dev laptop since my last post



ViCiDial lovingly uses the following technologies from my laptop;

• PHP
• Perl
• JavaScript
• HTML
• CSS
• cURL (in spots)
• Asterisk
• Bash
• mySQL
• Subversion
• CentOS (Old Times)
• openSUSE Leap (New Times)

ahh you made a mistake of Centos.

They were using slackware.

Centos managed to have a boost when we created VICIDIALNOW (now its goautodial). We were autistic enough to have vicidial runs on centos and were quite frustrated on how it was freaking hard to install a working vicidial system so we scripted the kickstarter for centos. the rest was history.

Ahhhhh I see. Well, looks like the team went openSUSE Leap for now...who knows where we'll end up next. Slackware <3

Yes, Slackware is what we used until 2008, when we switched to OpenSuSE, and that's what we've been on ever since as our Linux distro of choice. We've had a lot of issues with clients that tried to use RedHat-family distros over the years(including Centos), and so we avoid it whenever possible.
