Hmmm :-)
OK - grab a current RedHat Fedora Core 3 set of ISO's, install - about 2 hours... Do the up2date gig - time depends on your network connection. Do a cvs based asterisk install - about 30 minutes (more than happy to share the scripts to do this). Total elapsed time <24 hours max. This doesn't mean you'll understand what you did - but it isn't rocket science....
If RedHat isn't interesting then go to the local store and buy Slackware, Debian (Novell?), etc - lots of choices....
The 'hard' part will be understanding the configuration of asterisk itself - and that is covered by masses of info on the wiki, folks here who will share, etc.
Email me directly - I'll be happy to try and assist...

Jeff,
To tell the truth, this project is difficult enough for a Linux old timer to grasp, let alone someone that has no experience with the OS whatsoever. 30-40 hours to get basics running for Asterisk at your current level of experience is not really a good estimate.
I would suggest picking a distro, getting at least comfortable on it's install before even considering this project.
Unless you are in the middle of the sticks, you should have a users group near by that will probably lend you a hand in getting the OS up and running. Then the fun with asterisk will begin. You may be able to call on the same people to help you out again.
If you can get help, you might pull off the 30-40 hours mark, but I
would suspect quite a bit longer. Also you should become better
acquainted with asterisk before you actually purchase your equipment.
