asterisk on ubuntu Edgy

[Scott Lockwood]

To find the package names you're looking for, make sure you have the
respository active in your /etc/apt/sources.list, and issue an
'apt-cache search asterisk' at the command line. Take note of the
packages it tells you about, and select the ones you need.
