I'm far from being a Linux guru, and I learned it in a couple of weeks. Download, and print out "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony", get a couple of cheap Aastra SIP phones (or even just one, and a soft phone, as I did), and an optional Digium card if you plan to interface with POTS (you could go entirely SIP as someone else mentioned).
It was a lot of fun to make such quick progress! I later went on and installed a 5 phone voip system for the family business. Voicemail (email voicemail messages even), music on hold, and a weather/holiday closing announcement.
