Got an old celeron PC I had somewhere, found out it had 1GB of DDR1 ram, a 2.53GHz processor, a P4i65GV Motherboard with Bios 1.80 (Asrock), And an 80GB hard disk, fits the bill perfect.
the good thing about this motherboard is that it has 8 USB ports (2.0), The bad thing, A Celeron processor, An old celeron processor.
I installed an X100P (That I got in the mail today) on the PC.
1- Installed Ubuntu 8.04 32Bit from DVD, a default DVD install, user name (yazeed), Password (ZeDevildetail), and hostname (asterisk).

2- Now i need to enable VNC access, see This post in the ubuntu forums
3- Restarted Ubuntu to make sure the previous step works.
4- Installed Samba by starting Synaptic Package manager, Searching for Samba, and marking samba for install, 2 more packages are requiered, agreed to

install them when prompted after hitting the apply button, Same to install openssh. And miraculesly, when I start ubuntu on the machine, I can poin my VNC

viewer to asterisk:2
5- I installed RealVNC on my windows machine (The viewer only, if you install the server you will need a serial number).
6- logged in via VNC.
7- Downloaded Asterisk 1.6.0.5 along with the addons 1.6, DAHDI linux, Dahdi tools, and libpri 1.4.7 to /usr/src, DAHDI is what used to be ZAPTEL ,

LibPri is for T1, E1, J1 and I don’t need it, Just thought I’d install it anyway , So I unpacked them to that same directory I am in.
8- Before I install anything, I probably need to satisfy some dependancies, and add some tools so I can make managing the system easy later on,
Running aptitude
LAMP task: PHP would help me write stuff I can fix online !
the, MySQL with root password being “whatdevil”

Now from Synaptics package manager
GCC 3+, G++ 4.1, cpp and other compiler stuff ubuntu tells me about
Ncurses devel
Libtermcap-devel
Kernel development headers
Kernel development headers (SMP)
GCC++
Openssl and its dev package
Newt-devel
Zlib-devel
unixOBDC and unixOBDC devel
libtool

Bison for CLI (yacc and)
