you have asked several questions that have little or nothing to do with asterisk. Perhaps you should purchase some consulting time from a linux admin, join your local Linux Users Group, or at least ask your questions in a newbies forum for the version of linux you have chosen...
If you insist on doing this yourself, recognize that you will get back only what you're willing to put in. Please consider going to a good public library and reading a general guide to getting started with linux. If your local public library doesn't have these titles, ask about interlibrary loans with the librarian on duty. I recommend O'Reilly books, specifically: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596100292/ When you have a better understanding of unix and linux, I recommend you browse through the O'Reilly guide to Asterisk, referred to by me as the starfish book: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510480/index.html Now regarding hardware, various linux distributions handle this differently. CentOS and other flavors of linux generally support the command: /sbin/lspci you will need to become root, and type "lspci" and this will list much of the hardware in your system, but it won't list USB devices and some other peripherals like printers. If you're coming from the Windows world, there's no such thing as "Control Panel's hardware list". If this is for a business and you're working on a short deadline, you're going to find this process very frustrating and you should hire somebody yesterday rather than trying to aggregate the years of linux knowledge, as well as asterisk-specific know-how that people like me have accumulated. If you want the "easy way out" and know how to click things, you may find joy with projects including: webmin FreePBX However, webmin only gets you most of the way to administering your linux machine, and FreePBX will get you started with asterisk but will give you just enough rope to hang yourself once you try to do something custom and complicated. If you need to write very custom, business-critical apps, you need a consultant or a lot of patience to bring yourself up-to-speed. Why did you pick CentOS? CentOS is not a good place for a new linux user to start. I'm not convinced you made an informed decision, and I'm thinking you should start over again with Ubuntu, which is more user-friendly for a beginner, and has several Ubuntu-specific getting started manuals at any self-respecting big-box book seller, like B&N and Borders. Ubuntu also has excellent forums for new linux users. Good luck, and welcome back when you have enough of a handle on your linux administration to move on to configuring asterisk.
