Trixbox 2.0 with new Web Admin GUI released

Note: I have to be honest that I am on the fence about this whole Fonality/Trixbox movement.  Before I give me opinion I would like to say as soon as 2.0 goes to "stable" I will be testing it, focusing on its T1/E1 Interface support and how smoothly that goes.  Don't get me wrong I love the interface and usability work they have improved on.  I just am afraid if you make it too "one size fits all" and people don't support digium's work (and community) that it will slow down development on the flagship.  Before fonality go into the picture (Do they sell hardware or Consulting??) I did notice that trixbox was "not" as flexible as standard Asterisk.  If people really get use to the "plug and play" for there PBX they might not really get everything out of there phone system.  Anyways, here is a tidbit from my good ol' friend Tom and what here had to say:

"trixbox 2.0 beta will be available for download on Wednesday. This release will be Fonality's first big contribution to the trixbox/Asterisk community after the recent Fonality acquisition of trixbox. which certainly caused a stir within the Asterisk community. I spoke with Chris Lyman, CEO of Fonality, to find out more about this major new release of trixbox." 

 

First, I should point out that while previous version of trixbox have always been the easiest way to get Asterisk up and running in just minutes, trixbox 2.0 is much more than that.  First and foremost, trixbox 2.0 includes a new 'overall' web GUI to make the whole process "point and click". From this new web GUI you can simply select the modules you want (HUDLite, FreePBX, PHP, lame, etc.) and the web interface will automatically install them. Some of the packages are directly related to Asterisk such as HUDlite or FreePBX, while other options are ancillary, such as SugarCRM. The idea is you shouldn't have to know anything about the command line interface (CLI). In addition, many users wishing to install trixbox want to keep the server as unbloated as possible and not add any unnecessary modules/packages.
