While not having used asterisk myself, I would suggest not running firefox
on a machine that is some what critical of uptime. Firefox itself will
eat up huge amounts of memory. I would also suggest not running X on it
at all if at all possible. Trimming out just X will cut all of that and
should leave you with a server that will stay up for a good long while.
