I am hesitant to even say this because it's anecdotal at best, but just navigating around in PIAF on Ubuntu just seems snappier. It has an overall faster feel, no hesitation at all with menus, actions, etc. Have been out celebrating the 30th anniversary of my 16th birthday, so I am just now getting home and 0515 comes way early in the morning. I'll rebuild and get some trunks up with Flowroute and DID Logic tomorrow.
I wanted to report back on my attempt at making this work. This time I tried it on an old Dell D610 Latitude laptop (2.00GHZ Pentium M, 1GB Ram, 120GB HD) and this time it worked. I think the error I made before was not setting up a root password (Ubuntu does not have you make one by default). I kind of glanced over that part in the tutorial and once I figured that out, the load went smoothly.
Only issue I am having right now are that shutdown and reboot don't work from the CLI so I have to physically turn off or reboot the machine. Seems to be a problem with 14.04 and transient for some folks. But at least I got it to work and it repurposed an old trusty friend I had put away for retirement. I would agree that the GUI is snappier. Keeping fingers crossed that everything continues to work and is not broken by an Ubuntu update which seems to be a problem recently.
Anyone interested in Asterisk 12 with FreePBX 12 Bata?
