I would agree with Hugo that managing and tuning the OS and its related parts are much more difficult than managing Nagios. I would recommend finding someone well-versed in *NIX to get the environment set up before you tackle Nagios. Also, you will need to be comfortable editing text files instead of a nice GUI like those Microsoft provides. > > I need the best way to start with Nagios (technically).

If you thoroughly read the manual and follow it step-by-step, then you will have a fully-functioning Nagios installation in a few hours. Take your time and document the steps you perform. The Nagios documention is excellent and should answer many of your questions. I do, however, think you are looking in the right place. The open source community is usually very good about answering questions, even those from beginners, so long as they are well-thought-out and not answered previously (i.e. within a mailing list archive, FAQ, or product documentation).
