I might consider another distribution, but it must be one which will run on the raspberrypi as that will be where it will be run in the end. I did try the ArchLinux stuff on both an X86_64 system as well as the raspberrypi, Debian, I mainly tried on the RaspberryPi using the raspbian distribution.

in /etc/rc.local on raspbian su pi -c "ulimit -s 240; /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -rp -nc" -- David Matthews mail@dmatthews.org
