Comments on: Installing AsteriskNOW http://journal.nearbennett.com/2008/01/02/installing-asterisknow/ I was wondering "why is that Frisbee getting bigger?" And then it hit me.

We bought a new HP Vista machine and converted an old WIn 2K based desktop to SUSE Linux - http://file.sh/SUSE+Linux+torrent.html . After 2 months the hassles with Linux are far fewer! There are hassles with both, but the Linux hassles are well documented and Novell ($60 SUSE Linux support) actually DOES provide solutions in real English! We are preparing to convert the new machine to Linux as well. I have to wonder how that comparison would fare if it was Vista vs Linux?

It seems that “Linux 2.6″ causes my system to hang at the sloader, but setting the OS to Linux 2.2 in VB does the trick. Increase the memory to more than 256 MB as the installer says “as you are running low on memory …”

I've tried and failed due to some bug, with multiple versions of virtualbox, different hardware, different versions of Ubuntu, and Debian. The VM just randomly crashes on me (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1240). Anyway, so since you say that you installed it in virtualbox without that issue, I'm curious about what is different between our environments.
