Presuming you're not changing or adding features (I don't consider changing the numbers it dials a feature change), you shouldn't require any more knowledge than would normally be required to support Linux on PC hardware (i.e. handle things like backups and recovering from failed hardware, which most any Linux consultant can tackle).
As a proof-in-the-pudding example, I setup my Asterisk PBX some time last last year, and I don't believe I've touched Asterisk on that machine since then. All calls in and out of my house go through that box, probably an average of 5-6 calls per day. Aaron S.
