First of all, welcome to the community!  =)

I may consider myself as an experienced systems/network administrator but
with Asterisk and telephony, I am still newbie to it.  For me, Asterisk and
telephony in general is a totally different world.  If I may suggest to you,
try to check Trixbox <http://www.trixbox.org/> because it's a pretty easy to
setup VoIP software appliance in one distribution.  Although I must admit
that I didn't tried installing it and I installed Asterisk instead
"the-hard-way" TM on my Debian Etch <http://www.debian.org/> so that I would
learn (hopefully) this technology.  Anyway, my setup here is only on my home
PBX so nothing to worry.

If you would like to learn GNU/Linux systems and/or network administration,
you will have to choose a "distribution" to start with.  You can choose
GNU/Linux distributions at the DistroWatch website <
http://www.distrowatch.com/>.  I use Debian GNU/Linux Etch here as my OS.
You can also find useful information on GNU/Linux and F/OSS in general at
The Linux Documentation Project website <http://www.tldp.org/>.  Your
distribution of choice might have a good documentation specially the systems
and network administration.

Good luck!
