Tim, Check out http://www.xorcom.com/rapid/ These guys came up with a really neat solution for beginners and have a cool interface utility for logs, stats and other stuff. Just grab an old PC and load up this CD and away you go. Also check out http://www.automated.it/asterisk/ This distro is a live CD with Asterisk installed, no need for a hard drive install, just boot the CD and your up and running with Linux and Asterisk, it works on the Knoppix principles. And definitely check out Knoppix http://www.knoppix.net/ , it's the bomb for newbie's. Good luck and welcome to Asterisk.
