For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 No fancy features as other unified communications solutions but do the job as publish in a easy way. It works with new and old hardware. No problem to be virtualized. Tons of third party harware from sip phones to sip gateways. Web UI for easy management but it let you fine tuning it from the command line. Can be enhanced with addins and modules most of them from third parties. Very stable due to being based on Centos but it need to upgrade to a new open source RHEL base Linux due to EOL of Centos.
