Slast is a Linux Live CD that combines Slax and Asterisk 1.4, formerly known as Slasterisk. It enables users to use a pre-configured Asterisk system without any installation.
Slast (formerly known as Slasterisk) is a Linux Live CD project that combines Slax and Asterisk 1.4. It is a great tool for demonstrating/testing Asterisk, learning Asterisk, and can serve as a powerful backup if your Asterisk box goes down. With the ease of modifying Slax to create a custom CD, you can have a live CD with 'your' Asterisk install on it, doing whatever you need a PBX to do.
Slast is modular, and it is our hope to have a repository of user-submitted modules for you to add to your personal Slast CD. If you want to help with anything from website design to creating modules and writing documentation, please contact droops (at) gmail to volunteer. We have built multiple versions of the Live CD, one of which is with Linux from Scratch. We are trying out these new distros because we want a live-CD that is easy to install and update. We want one with the Xfce4 window manager, and we also want to have lots of demos and VoIP security tools on the CD.
Now, you might be wondering, "Why another distro?" We think that Slast has a place for two reasons: education of Asterisk and custom Asterisk live-CDs. The config files have been moved, and only the necessary ones remain. They have been rewritten to prioritize getting Asterisk working for the newcomer.
