Brian,
What you need are some sources of good information to get you started. Based on what you wrote there is a lot to cover - impossible in an email.
Buy and read the book from this link - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk/
the pdf version can be found here but having one to read is much better.

With a background in Linux, once you learn a bit more setting up asterisk will be easy. And yes Asterisk can handle a 100+ users with relatively standard hardware.

To show my complete ignorance I am going to try and describe out
setup, or as much as I know about it. We have a PRI line with a
single number that rolls over to several lines. We also have a
handful of analogue fax lines (are these part of the PRI...I dunno?).
There are also a few 800 numbers...(not sure if that fact really
matters to our phone system or not). From my bit of research I am
pretty sure asterisk does support PRI but please correct me if I am
wrong 'cause none of this matters if it doesn't...
First is asterisk really capable of supporting a 100+ user base of phones?
I understand (or at least think I do) that I need one of the Digium
Digital TDM Cards and that is where the PRI connection gets pluged
into...how then do I connect the asterisk system to the phone network
that exists in the office? (Told you I was clueless)
Any guidance would be appreciated or even links to an introduction on
phone systems would be great (pictures would help too ;) ).
Brian
