Asterix is a Linux distribution intented for use as a PBX in an office with more than a handful of staff. Traditional PBX systems are typically expensive and require dedicated hardware and support in order to function. Asterix changes this by providing a software based PBX system that can run on standard x86 hardware. This software has been forecast to be the next big thing in the Open Source arena behind such projects as the
Apache web server,
SAMBA filesharing and the
OpenOffice suite.
