I'm not really sure how to respond to this, does anything run without an Operating System in some way?

[thedonvaughn]

vicidial requires asterisk which in turn requires an operating system. So yes you need an OS to run vicidialer

[Winux]

Thanks a lot guys! you are doing a really got job there!

After reading helpful threads! :
(1) I need an advice for the right choice of Os !
which OS is more stable for running asterisk?
SLACKWARE?
DEBIAN? OR OTHERS ?
(2) Right config for running asterisk with less hardware as possible!
I have 2 server core2 duo and bandwidth and don't want to use DIGIUM card.
I would prefer to use softphone.
I want some advice and some possibilities that would work with the asterisk.
PLEASE NEED YOUR EXPERIENCE ON THESE QUESTION.

[mflorell]

As for the Linux distro, use what you are comfortable with. I would recommend staying away from CentOS(or the entire RedHat family), but everything else is pretty much OK.

How many agents and what kind of calling are you looking to do?

[Winux]

Right now! this is a new project now yet setup !
WE WOULD WANT HAVE A SIP TRUNK IF WE SETUP A GOOD SYSTEM.
I want to use softphone like zoiper are you aware for what relationship there are between zoiper and vicidial ?
i think it interact with the asterisk directly and the vicidial hold them ??? am i right ?

[mflorell]

Have you at least read the free versions of the VICIDIAL Agent and Manager manuals?

[Winux]

I've read both the user&manager manual... and this is not where my problem arise .
I just need some advice for the server setup!
I want a formulated advice of your own words not website link on the OS to choose, asterisk nest config and predictive choice and structure for a low cost setup. thanks in advance.

[mflorell]

Have you read the SCRATCH_INSTALL.txt document?

[Winux]

Yeah read a downloaded "install from scratch v2.04" 2007-12-03
And it's not what i want as it required Digium wildcard and this is not my choice. any alternative ?
See mr MFLORELL : i want a set up as follow;
OS say DEBIAN
Asterisk as acd
Vidial as predictive interface.
Softphone
IS DEBIAN THE RIGHT OS ?
For the MYSQL what OS is preferable?

[mflorell]

It does not require a Digium card, just ignore that.

[kolucoms6]

One suggestion , next time please use proper subject tag line so that one can understand whats this post is for .

Thanks, and sorry If I sound arrogant.

[Winux]

Sorry koucoms6
your are right for the subject post wasn't significant... this would prevent users from posting already answered post. next time will be careful.

You know, i'm not sure if Winux posting all his comments in bold is annoying or really cool. It DOES make it easier to find the posts from the originator of the thread if his posts are all bold. Interesting.

OS: use VicidialNOW for your first install, it gets you up and running very quickly for testing. Then build one in the OS of choice of the Linux person you will have running the system for you.

Make no mistake, you WILL have a linux person when your system goes live, or you take the chance of spending all the money you saved by using vicidial to have a professional run over to your call center to resolve a silly mistake you made in asterisk and shut off your server's ability to make calls.

If YOU intend to be your Linux Person, be careful that you do not intend to also manage the Call Center (those two hats are not generally compatible).

That being said ... I've heard a lot of people use slackware, I use Gentoo, and I have people who use debian and ubuntu.

It will not hurt you to install each of those OSs from an install CD and test run them to see how easily you can manage them. And if you can't manage them, either go back to VicidialNOW or hire someone for IT who CAN absorb all this information.

And SERIOUSLY buy AND READ the Manager Manual and do the "SCRATCH-INSTALL" exactly as written. Then when you ask for help HERE, it will be readily available, and those helping you will be speaking the same Vicidial language that you are.
