I have a network that connects 2 households and would like to setup a simple VoIP server so that I can call between the houses.
It needs to be for Ubuntu, I have used the free 3CX system and while it works brilliantly it doesn't support Linux and I can get a windows box.
The users will never need to call external lines. They will only make 'calls' between laptops/PC.
Can someone please make a recommendation and maybe even a tutorial that I can follow?

You can use asterisk with only SIP or IAX2 protocolos.
apt-get install asterisk vim /etc/asterisk/sip.conf <--- add users here vim /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf <--add dialplan here
so basic setup: add user to sip.conf with field
Then edit extensions.conf like:
then connect with some softphone like xlite/ekiga to asterisk and dial 1001 or 1002 to connect with correct user.
