Hey James, Yes it installs asterisk for you as well as the linux, so you can install whatever else you need. If you have any linux experience it wont be too bad, then again if you were installing linux, then asterisk you would need just as much knowledge!
Stability isnt too bad. Ive had two failures in two years - one was a dead power supply, the other was a dead harddrive. Both problems could have been avoided by using a proper server box w/ redundant supplies. Either way, if you keep proper backups with *now and their install dvd time to live should be less then 45 minutes after critical failure w/data loss.
