      It is using FreePBX 2.11 which is the core of 2.5

      but the elastix packages still being marked as 2.4 is odd.

        @JaredBusch suggested running a yum update

        This is now downloading 180+ updates and Elastix 2.5 is one of them.

          You should always update any system at install time, just good general practice.

            I'm not used to Linux yet. Frankly since this is a pre-built ISO, I figured (I guess wrongly) that all updates for the OS and applications would be handled through the app.

              All major OS come as a pre-built ISO. Windows, Red Hat, Solaris, FreeBSD, Suse, Ubuntu, etc. But all need patching as a regular thing.

              There IS a way, normally, to run the yum upgrade through the app. But yum is just so quick and easy.

                It may be that it the iso was grabbed from an out of date mirror. Although that seems unlikely. Did you check the md5 hash?

                  The point of this one though is that the ISO was LABELED as 2.5. This means you would expect to have a full 2.5 based system from the ISO. Not requiring a update to get to it.

                  There IS a way, normally, to run the yum upgrade through the app. But yum is just so quick and easy.

                  That process does suck compared to just dropping to a command line and hitting yum update

                      Is it just me.. or does it seem somehow wrong that the MD5 hash would be served up from sourceforge as a md5sum file instead of being locally hosted at Elastix site or the number published? (which should also be on Elastix own site)

                        Just you. Why is SourceForge, as the definitive host, not the place to get the MD5 from? Why would Elastix have it?

                          It's a trust thing I guess. I hope that one managing a project like Elastix to do a pretty good or better job at securing their website, and I'd feel more comfortable pulling the hash from them than from a file sitting on the same file server as the actual file, especially since it's a hosting provider, not the content creator.

                            OK Hash verified - ISO is good.

                                A better job than SourceForge? I'm not sure what you are looking for. SourceForge is a huge player and the source of the majority (I think) of the world's open source projects. At least those of any size. This is how a huge amount of open source is done.

                                SouceForge really is the content creator, in a way, here. Remember, this is open source.
