I saw somewhere that the Xen hosts provided by VPSLink already have
1000HTz clocks on them, saving a kernel recompilation.

I used Debian for over 10 years but now I got used to CentOS (simply
because it's so much easier to find hosts which support it for my work
needs).

I don't know Asterisk at all so not sure I should try the latest and
greatest where I'll never know whether something is broken because I
did it wrong or because it's really broken.

Thanks.

PS - My main quest now (apart from actually getting to call through my
new asterisk server) is to find a reasonably priced Israeli DID. So
far they all seem to be around $US9.95 and above.
