I agree with mercutioviz, FreeSWITCH is a much better tool than anything else I ever seen in the OSS or proprietary world when it comes to VoIP and telecommunications.
Sure Wine is of great help for running Windows games on Linux but if they treat us as second class citizens and they refuse to make Linux binaries I wouldn't be so happy to support them with my money.
They do release their games for Windows and Mac OS X, I don't see why they couldn't do it for Linux as well.
Yeah that just showed how great the community is and how skilled Anthony Minessale is as a programmer, I still can't believe he made that module in just 3 hours after never hearing of what YAML was *respect*.
Now after using FreeSWITCH for a year, I understand why XML is a good thing on the project, it makes things very dynamic, flexible and easily extensible, it also makes things easier to build things on top of FreeSWITCH, I think the XML is one of the stronger points of FreeSWITCH.
If you are new to VoIP or are looking for a rock solid telephony platform, chose FreeSWITCH, you will never look back:-).
Yes I have, I have suggested tons of ideas, helped their users and their community and I'm currently writing a web application (billing application) that works with FreeSWITCH.
I'm sure you are a coward, as your name says "Anonymous Coward", login with your real user and come back if you are enough of a man.
Yep, indeed... I also like the fact that you is extremely extensible, you can script it with whatever language you want. Freeswitch itself supports Lua, Perl, Python, etc. and you can call any dialplan application from it's event socket, the event socket has two modes: inbound and outbound, and you can let Freeswitch connect to your own script, ie: a ruby script, and control it in whatever way you want, it's amazing.
I have been using FreeSWITCH, it does much more things than Asterisk and it's a lot more stable and flexible, check it out: http://www.freeswitch.org/
Most VoIP providers such as Teliax Inc, Bandwidth.com, iCall, etc, are switching from Asterisk to FreeSWITCH because of it's flexibility, stability and features.

Linux is already mainstream, it's being used everywhere... and I think that's good, people keep building interesting things on top of Linux, and I think it will always be like that, from geeks by geeks.

Asterisk is by no means a carrier-grade server, and it has many problems, these problems include bugs, deadlocks, etc.
You probably never worked on the telecom field to say that, the fact is that there is a much better alternative and that alternative is FreeSWITCH.
Just take a look at this:

It's time to move to the future I guess?
I suggest that you try FreeSWITCH, it's a lot better than Asterisk.
I agree, I do all my real work on Linux, I also watch movies and listen to music on Linux, and use my PS3 for gaming.
I second this, same thing, I have bought Doom 3 just to play on Linux.
Good thing that I got my PS3 already.
The "EVE online Linux client" is not native, it's just a wrapped version of a Windows EVE executable with old Wine (Cedega).
Wikipedia shows Linux as one of the supported OSes for Rage nice :D
Running native on Linux is always better.
Will Rage run on Linux?
Research about Fabio Fusaro and you will understand them.
If you are not releasing it for Linux delay it forever because I'm not interested.
I lost faith a long time ago on game developers releasing their games for Linux and just got a PS3 for my gaming needs.
If developers in general still think that we (Linux users) don't pay for software they are still smoking crack and living under a rock.

I'm not buying also, first: no Linux version and now this.
Blizzard: if you want your products to sell start listening to your possibles customers.
Oh the infamous YAML email ;)

lol that made me laugh big time

Oh and I forgot to mention XCB also, which is pretty good as well.
Go look at DRI2, KMS, Gallium3D, GEM, the new Wayland display server and then come back to talk.
If you want something secure go with FreeSWITCH ( http://www.freeswitch.org/ ) it does SIP+TLS, SRTP, ZRTP, etc.
