I was excited when I learned that there was a book that just came out on AsteriskNow. As far as I know, this AsteriskNow book is the only one available for the subject matter. For those who may not know, AsteriskNow is an open-source software appliance from Digium. It’s an easy to install, customized Linux distribution that includes Asterisk (the leading open-source telephony engine and tool kit), the AsteriskGUI, and all the other software needed for an Asterisk telephony system. The improvement on the original Asterisk release is that it packaged everything one needs allowing for a quicker and easier way of deploying Asterisk. Surely, it’s a great step towards making Asterisk within reach of small businesses who may not have the technical capabilities necessary in making Asterisk run in their enterprise.

Asterisk is the world’s leading open source telephony engine and toolkit. Asterisk was created by Mark Spencer of Digium, Inc in 1999. Code has been contributed from open source coders around the world, and testing and bug-patches from the community have provided invaluable aid to the development of this software. However, would an ordinary consumer or businessman be able to install and comprehend how to configure it on his machine? If you are not a person who knows much about Linux codes, it would be quite too hard to figure out how to to install this into your PCs to be able utilize its features to reap the benefits that you would derive from it. Before we go into that, let us first probe about asterisk and why I took my time to write about it.
