 ====== Asterisk Configuration ======
-Almost all configuration of Asterisk can, and should, be carried out via the Edit tab of the GUI. If you are familiar with traditional installations of Asterisk, **do not edit the files in ''/etc/asterisk'', the traditional location of Asterisk ''.conf'' files**. If you want to edit the ''.conf'' files without using the GUI, the majority of them are located in ''/mnt/kd''.
+The Asterisk configuration files are stored in the ''/mnt/kd/asterisk/'' directory.  As a convenience, ''/etc/asterisk/'' is a symlink to the ''/mnt/kd/asterisk/'' directory.  Almost all of the configuration of Asterisk can be performed via the Edit tab in the web interface, or if you prefer use the CLI with ''vi'' or ''nano'' to edit the text configuration files.
-Astlinux is designed to minimize writing to its storage media, in order to extend hardware life. For that reason, the Asterisk configuration files in the traditional location of ''/etc/asterisk'' are in fact symlinks.
+AstLinux's design goals does not use the GUI-only/FreePBX-style Asterisk configuration.  Rather, a more custom, hand crafted Asterisk configuration approach for a specific solution.  The IP Phone Provisioning tools provided in AstLinux can eliminate much of the tedium when managing phone extensions.

 ===== Phone Provisioning =====
+For more advanced users, with several IP phones of the same type, it is very useful to provision the phones in a systematic fashion.  Be sure you understand the basic operation of Asterisk before attempting any auto-provisioning.
