FreePBX with Asterisk?

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Install FreePBX ISO, It will auto install asterisk.

Thanks for the quick response.
Just out of curiosity, would you choose FreePBX over Elastix? I’m upgrading our phone system, it’s running a very old version of Elastix. I’m not sure whether to keep Elastix and update it, or just go with FreePBX standalone.

Developers formerly involved in Elastix recently got together and started a new open source branch called Issabel with Freepbx (11 or 12?) and Asterisk.
