[Asterisk-Users] Intro and first questions

[Tom Poe]

This is my first venture into VoIP from my Fedora Core 4 system.  I came 
across a posting:

> >        http://atrpms.net/name/asterisk-addons/
> >        http://atrpms.net/name/asterisk-sounds/
> >        http://atrpms.net/name/spandsp/
> >        http://atrpms.net/name/libpri/
> >        http://atrpms.net/name/zaptel/
on the Fedora list, added the repository to yum, and downloaded, installed, then typed:
# asterisk -vvvvc , hit the return, 
and a bunch of stuff happened, before returning to the root prompt.

My first goal(s) is to be able to configure the machine to make a PC to PC call to my daughter, who lives in Minnesota.  If all goes well, I can set up her computer to receive the call, using Asterisk.  Is this a realistic first experience project?  If so, is there a tutorial out there that describes the steps I need to take?  Any advice, suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Tom
