Note: Found this Asterisk How-To article by Mr. NuFone himself: Jeremy McNamara
Deploying your first Asterisk system can be a frustrating task, espcially if you attempt to utilize the more advanced features and functions of Asterisk without having a solid foundation of the basic concepts. This article will walk you through the process of downloading, compiling and configuring your first instance of Asterisk that will allow you to place and receive calls between two Linksys SPA-942s and an asterisk voip provider.
To get started, if you are running a new installation of Linux, you will need to resolve a few external dependencies before attempting to compile Asterisk from source code.
voip:/usr/src# apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
libncurses5-dev
