I was so impressed I told my dad and best mate to get one too although my best mate didn't follow the instructions on the web site. I always try and go to SVP for everything I can. Its a shame they don't sell motherboards, memory and processors too but I guess things like these go out of date rather quickly anyway. It sounds good that you built an Asterisk phone system using Linux. At least I know who to ask when I try and attempt it. I'm going to try and do a bit more research into a location today. Has anyone got any ideas for a venue for Cornwall/North Devon yet?
