- PowerCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i digg almost anything free.. good things doubly so..
doh i can only digg it once - kolofon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This ROCKS.
- bugmeno19135, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I already read it. I have to say it is great for beginners that are looking to just play around with it and set it up at home. But this book lacks any good info for someone looking to set up a large scale Asterisk network. Overall I would say read it, hell it's free and you will learn from it if you know nothing about it.
- jhole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've really been wanting this book too. Consider it dugg.
- MrFlibble1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh man, as a user of Asterisk@home 2.1 this is the *BOMB* I can now fully configure my server to be a voicemail/zapateller box for my home line! Then I just need my Voip provider. This roxors!
(For those of you who have tried to do this for a SMALL implimentation, you know that the docs are less than stellar...) - metafore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool
- Antz0rz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2O'REILLY?
- wifigod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I went out and purchased the book over Christmas break and am glad to see it available for free download as well. I've been trying to convince everybody and their grandmother to setup an Asterisk box in their homes. :)
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0If it was in the spirit of Open Source it would be Creative Commons.
- metafore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0can anyone find a link on an o'reilly server announcing this free download?
regardless, digg :) - ender78, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here is a list of mirrors
http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 - skell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I haven't played with Asterisk yet, but I am all hyped up about it. I will definitely grab this book and play with it soon! DUGG.
- YamahaSteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"can anyone find a link on an o'reilly server announcing this free download?"
I did not find anything like you are aking for per-se but I was able to verify on both Safari and in the PDF on the copyright page it says this:
"Asterisk: The Future of Telephony is published under the Creative Commons "Commons Deed" license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ca/)."
the link will take you here:

Before I posted this I wanted to do my "due diligence"... does anyone have a print copy handy to verify that it is in that version as well? - deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Asterisk just works. Open source is the future.
- recipher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Antz0rz wins.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh very nice.. so it is CC! I'm impressed O'Reilly!
- Xtra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here is a better link to download the book. You can download the book as a single PDF document or
download the book as a multipart document (each chapter its own PDF document)
http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 - ckkoba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not a bad book, I read through it and it definitely helped configure my current * box. If you don't have any programming know how though the easiest way to get started is definitely with Asterisk@Home. Gives you all the bells and whistles of Asterisk with a nice easy setup.
Otherwise a good book that will start you on your way to fussing with your Asterisk box! - dismorfo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0GOOD!!!!!!
- dmoffitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0great timing, my roommate was going to buy it (and i was going to leach off of him hehe)
- incubuz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is just so cool. O'Reilly rules!
- treed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good lord someone get this on a torrent.
- GreenSlabOfClay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Smart on O'reilly to offer this free, kindof like Wal-Fart's price point concept.
Drive geeks to the site...oh but wait!...that C++ book looks good...think I'll buy that while I'm here.
People will buy the book anyway because it's nice to have the reference at hand.
Asterisk is a fantastic culture.
Don't forget to check out #asterisk on Freenode IRC - jackusage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0one of the best diggs ever. Great way to bring in the New Year.
- panique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@xtra - thanks
- DEEZED, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Eh I guess its cool. I bought the book a couple months ago and it was worth the money. Plus its easier to read it as a book. Digg
- jrhass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm just finishing up watching the systm episode on this. Digg.
- WebSmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As one of the authors of the book (guess which one!), I'm very happy that O'Reilly agreed to publish our book under the Creative Commons license. The other authors and I worked our tails off to get this done, and we're happy to give back to the Asterisk community by releasing the PDFs of the book for free.
Check out http://www.asteriskdocs.org/ for more info. - surfing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm on page 5 already!
- gabrielsond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is a pretty good book, except for the errors. i use it as a reference for work all the time
- Captain_Anthem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet! I wonder why they are letting us download it for free? Anywhoo, now I don't have to buy it!
- MarkyBhoyUK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks for the link was thinking of learning this soon.
