16:52.05GingerDoghi; i've vaguely interested in using a slug as an asterisk server in our office; can i buy one in the UK? How do I decide which firmware to use? (the website only points out there are different ones)
17:07.43mwesterGingerDog: Check the mailing list archives for some background information, and since this channel is remarkably quiet (almost dead, actually), you might pose your question on #nslu2-general as well.

17:09.00mwesterAs for which firmware, that would best be determined by which one is favored by the implementation of asterisk for the slug.  I seem to recall "unslung" being mentioned for that, but I could be wrong.
17:10.15GingerDogok
17:10.29GingerDogthe wiki seemed to mention big endian and little endian firmwares
17:10.35GingerDogare all slugs therefore not equal?
17:15.10mwesterAll slugs are equal; the operating mode may not be.
17:16.43mwesterUnslung is BE, SlugOS can run in either, and the Debian release for the slug is LE.  The software must match the operating mode; the "optware" packages for Unslung are BE, the Debian packages are LE, and packages for SlugOS could be either.
17:17.28mwesterSo, if Asterisk for the slug is an optware package, it would imply BE and Unslung. :)
17:19.18mwesterJust a quick perusal of the wiki seems to indicate that Unslung/optware is the best choice.
