2.6. Conclusion
In this chapter, we've discussed all manner of
issues that can contribute to the stability and quality of an
Asterisk installation. Before we scare you off, we should tell you
that many people have installed Asterisk on top of a graphical
Linux workstation, running a web server, a database, an X-windowing
environment, and who knows what else, with no problems whatsoever.
How much time and effort you should devote to following the best
practices and engineering tips in this chapter all depends on how
much work you expect the Asterisk server to perform, and how much
quality and reliability your system must provide.
What we have attempted to do in this chapter is
give you a feel for the kinds of best practices that will help to
ensure that your Asterisk system will be built on a reliable,
stable platform. Asterisk is quite willing to operate under far
worse conditions, but the amount of effort and consideration you
decide to give these matters will play a part in the stability of
your PBX. Your decision should depend on how critical your Asterisk
system will be.
