For those wanting to experiment with an Asterisk PBX, there is no better offering than Asterisk@Home. Now you can run Asterisk@Home 2.5 with its built-in CentOS/4 Linux operating system as a virtual task on your Windows XP or Windows 2000 system. And, you get an Apache web server with PHP, a SendMail server, the SugarCRM contact management system, and a MySQL database server all rolled into the package.

Better yet, if you happen to have a 2GB USB flash drive, you can carry your new PBX and softphone with you wherever you go and run it on almost anyone's Windows PC.

Just download and install the VMware player. You'll need a Windows PC with at least a 500 MHz processor with 256MB of RAM and about 2 gigs of disk space for this project.

The remaining piece you'll need to get started is Asterisk@Home 2.5 packaged as a VMware application. Just download the ZIP file, unzip it, and run VMware Player with the VMDK version of Asterisk@Home.
