Can someone suggest a starting point on learning Linux?
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! GNUbie
