I want to set up asterisk on Ubuntu 9.10 to do a business line when people dial the ip. I'm gonna have Gizmo with Google Voice go to it. I want to set it up with Voice mail, Extensions and Press 1 For Support,Press 2 for sales,Press 3 for other. Something like this. Is there a easy way to get a sip line set up? Maybe something to install then have a url to config it. It dosnt have to be asterisk but i want a voip line. Thanks.

Asterisk is a bit of a bear configuration-wise, to say the least, but it does work on a Linode. I use the FreePBX frontend to handle configuration.

I have a quick guide to installing Asterisk and FreePBX on an Ubuntu 9.04 system with lighttpd (Ubuntu 9.10 wasn't out at the time, but I should probably update it):

http://blog.hoopycat.com/2009/08/asterisk-freepbx-ubuntu-lighttpd-linode

Also, although I haven't read it yet, I've heard good things about the Asterisk book: http://astbook.asteriskdocs.org/. That might prove helpful too!

Offhand, I'm not sure. How did you install it, and what are you typing when you try to uninstall it?

You'll need to remove dahdi and its related packages too:

Code:
apt-get remove dahdi dahdi-dkms dahdi-linux


I just went through an apt-based install of Asterisk and DAHDI on an Ubuntu 9.10 system for an updated blog post yesterday, and... wow. It was not easy. Have you considered installing it from source? :-)

First, run
Code:
apt-get purge dahdi dahdi-dkms dahdi-linux ...
(plus everything else asterisk- and dahdi-related on your system) to remove the existing stuff,
Code:
apt-get install build-essential
to install everything needed to compile, then grab a tarball from http://www.asterisk.org/downloads. I can't seem to find a copy of the compilation/installation instructions on asterisk.org, but there will probably be a README file in the archive that will get you started.

I have a feeling the sane people use CentOS ;-)
