Digium releases AsteriskNow

From the site:

AsteriskNOW Version 1.4.0 Beta 1

The most popular open source PBX software, Asterisk?, can now be easily configured with a graphical interface. AsteriskNOW? Beta is a Software Appliance; a GUI implementation with the open source Asterisk distribution. AsteriskNOW includes all the Linux components necessary to run, debug and build Asterisk, and only those components, so installation is easy. You no longer have to worry about kernel versions and package dependencies. Unlike other Linux distributions used to deploy Asterisk, no unnecessary components that might compromise security or performance are included.

The AsteriskNOW site is under development and will offer additional information with the final release. The Asterisk Community, the top influencer of VoIP, is welcome to provide feedback for improvements and enhancements for the Software Appliance.
