[Freeswitch-users] APT Utility

[Rob Forman]

Hi David,

Apt was just for getting your dependencies in order.  Now you can go  
about the business of compiling and installing Freeswitch.  You might  
start with 1.0.4 so you don't have to mess with svn yet.

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#FreeSWITCH_1.0.4_.22Phoenix.22_Release

Just keep reading through the wiki or google for tutorials.  Good luck!
Rob
