Hello Mulone, Generally you have two options, you can pre-render (at the needed zoom levels) all the tiles you want, or you can set up a server to do on- demand rendering (and caching if you need).
For pre-generating tiles try the 'generate_tiles.py' script from OpenStreetMap. Richard Weait has written some great tutorials on this and related options. Find them at: http://weait.com For on-demand tile serving generally you'll want to use either Mod_tile[1], TileCache[2], or TileLite[3]. The latter I wrote with ease of setup as a priority, while both Mod_tile and TileCache are much more flexible and should be faster.
