    This book should get you started. It's for RS 2000, but the basics are the same. IT usually runs about $40 US and is well worth it.

    there are also virtual labs provided free by Microsoft. You run up a virtual server session which you use to do the lab excercises, this gets blown after you logoff.

    You need to be able to install the virtual PC addin and i've found that if your link is slow then the refresh rate on the lab screen becomes a pain. But worth a go...

    I've always found the Wrox Books Helpful in getting started with something new.  The books have walk thru's that build on each other.  After working thru the book, I am up and at least walking.
