Hi qubo,
It is possible to run two (or more) versions of Asterisk from the same physical hard drive by using virtual servers.
You will need to first install a Virtual server manager such as VMWare ESXi and then create as many virtual servers as you require, assuming your server is powerful enough.
Configuring Asterisk to run in a virtual environment can be a little bit tricky especially if you have hardware line cards, but it does work.

I don’t think you would be able to get multiple releases (FreePBX, Freeswitch, AsteriskNow, etc) working within a single install of Linux as they would all be trying to share the same TCP ports and would get very confused.

Hope that helps.

what I want is to have several diferent telephone systems in the hardrive but only use one or boot with one then if i want to test other system only select the telephone system i want to use I dont want or need to use all the telephone system at same time. only switch which I want to use.

but of course what I dont want is to use a huge hardrive for only one system

one system needs only 6 gigas to operate but if I have a 300 gigas i want to use the extra space to allocate more systems
what means UVL ? I think I saw that in the install of some centos packages

well any idea that allow me to use several telephone system and allow me to config what system I want to boot are welcome

thanks for alla
