Recommendations please for a noob! OPiPC+ and Asterisk w/GUI

[aberean]

Please give me your recommendation for my OPiPC+ to use Armbian and Asterisk

 

I see there are 3 options for Armbian for my model. I am not good with linux and would prefer a GUI for both Armbian and Asterisk. Also I am wanting as "Lightweight" as possible. I will not be using the OPi for anything else but a phone system.

 

Also could you give me steps to take to add Asterisk to Armbian.

 

Thanks

Our desktop is already lightweight as possible. There are only few applications, which you might not need: 

libreoffice-writer thunderbird icedove

Uninstall them if you thing it's urgent to do so.

 

I never built Asterix but since Armbian desktop is Debian based, I would check guides like this:

Thank you

I am assuming you are recommending I use the desktop version as opposed to the other 2 versions.

It's your call. It should work in both, CLI and desktop.
