    to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world
    is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by
    the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.</p><div class="attribution"><span>--<span class="attribution">Helen Keller</span></span></div></div><p>In the<a id="ch03_installation" class="indexterm"></a> previous chapter, we discussed preparing a system to install
  Asterisk. Now it’s time to get our hands dirty!</p><p>Although a large number of Linux<sup>[<a id="asterisk-CHP-3-FN-1" href="#ftn.asterisk-CHP-3-FN-1">42</a>]</sup> distributions <a id="I_indexterm3_tt195" class="indexterm"></a>and PC architectures are excellent candidates for Asterisk, we
  have chosen to focus on a single distribution in order to maintain brevity
  and clarity throughout the book. The instructions that follow have been made
  as generic as possible, but you will notice a leaning toward<a id="I_indexterm3_tt196" class="indexterm"></a> CentOS directory structure and system utilities. We have
  chosen to focus on CentOS (arguably, the most popular distro for Asterisk)
  because its command set, directory structure, and so forth are likely to be
  familiar to a larger percentage of readers (we have found that many Linux
  administrators are familiar with CentOS, even if they don’t prefer it). This
  doesn’t mean that CentOS is the only choice, or even the best one for you. A
  question that often appears on the mailing lists is: “Which distribution of
  Linux is the best to use with Asterisk?” The multitude of answers generally
  boils down to “the one you like the best.”<sup>[<a id="id4107812" href="#ftn.id4107812">43</a>]</sup></p><div class="footnotes"><br /><hr width="100" align="left" /><div class="footnote"><p><sup>[<a id="ftn.asterisk-CHP-3-FN-1" href="#asterisk-CHP-3-FN-1">42</a>] </sup>And some non-Linux operating systems as well, such as Solaris,
      *BSD, and OS X. You should note that while people have managed to
      successfully run Asterisk on these alternative systems, Asterisk was,
      and continues to be, actively developed for Linux.</p></div><div class="footnote"><p><sup>[<a id="ftn.id4107812" href="#id4107812">43</a>] </sup>We will be using CentOS Server 4.4 in this book, which we usually
      install with nothing except the Editors package selected. If you are not
      sure what distribution to choose, CentOS is an excellent choice. CentOS
