ViCiDial lovingly uses the following technologies from my laptop;

  • PHP
  • Perl
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • cURL (in spots)
  • Asterisk
  • Bash
  • mySQL
  • Subversion
  • CentOS (Old Times)
  • openSUSE Leap (New Times)

ahh you made a mistake of Centos.

They were using slackware. :D

Centos managed to have a boost when we created VICIDIALNOW (now its goautodial). We were autistic enough to have vicidial runs on centos and were quite frustrated on how it was freaking hard to install a working vicidial system so we scripted the kickstarter for centos. the rest was history.

Yes, Slackware is what we used until 2008, when we switched to OpenSuSE, and that's what we've been on ever since as our Linux distro of choice. We've had a lot of issues with clients that tried to use RedHat-family distros over the years(including Centos), and so we avoid it whenever possible.
