[Freeswitch-users] APT Utility

[Rob Forman]

Ubuntu has pretty good package management with apt-get and should work  
well for a beginner.  The recommended OS (though FreeSWITCH runs on a  
wide variety of platforms) is 64-bit CentOS.  You can get it here: http://www.centos.org/ 
  if you'd like, but at this point I think it's fine to just keep  
digging into whichever flavor of linux you have handy.

If you have FreeSWITCH compiled and installed, have you tried just  
starting it from the command line?  cd /usr/local/freeswitch ; ./bin/ 
freeswitch
