Running Asterisk on Debian GNU/Linux

Introduction

This document is a step-by-step guide to running Asterisk on Debian/GNU Linux for the Intel x86 architecture.  It covers each phase of the process from installing Debian to placing calls between any combination of analog phones and soft phones through Asterisk.  Presently, it describes an unoptimized system that is not ready for a production environment.  Over time I hope to develop this document to describe a production-ready system.
