So you really aren't looking for a nice home phone system, as stated in your original post.

If you want to learn and have a test bed and you live alone, then set yourself up with a system that is based on Asterisk, and have at it.
Learn, play, fail then succeed, partially, then progress.
Keep in mind that you will probably spend more in hardware, and if you have other household members they will not be happy with you messing around with their telephones.If you have little or no experience in telephony you will have a more difficult time, and may create a system that is more difficult for many users. Asterisk doesn't yet do a really good job of recreating the user interface of many modern hybrid key/pbx systems

You need to start by reading "asterisk, the future of telephony" A rather presumptuous title, but a good reference none the less.
If you search the recent archives of this list, you will see the trials and failures of Asterisk and Google

If this is to be used by you while you attempt to make a living on your own, I would say to you that is most unwise.
Good luck and revisit when you have something up and working and have some serious questions
