You are looking at this the wrong way!
Debian is used world wide in production by thousands of companies
including our own. Debian is very suitable.
What you have to do is to investigate what is going on with your
machine before, while and after the problems occur. Even a small
mistake in your setup can cause the problem that you describe.
Answer these questions and you will properly find the answer to your
problem:
1. How is your network setup?
2. Why are you running Firefox on the machine? It has been running for
quite a while.. doing what?
6623 anne 15 0 337m 145m 26m S 24 14.5 169:28.67 firefox-bin
3. What is notify.php?
4292 root 25 0 15808 1004 856 R 98 0.1 1441:12 notify.php
notify.php is eating a LOT of CPU and this is very likely the cause of
your problem.
4. This is not related, but you are running asterisk as root. You
should not! If asterisk is compromised then the attacker will gain root
access right away.
5. What have you found in the logs?
6. Investigate your traffic when the machine becomes slow, if
notify.php is not the cause (but I think it is).
Best regards.
