Install TeTeX and get the Tobias Oetiker introduction to Latex: 
"Not too short introduction to Latex"

In two hours you will be taking profit to Latex.

Good luck and enjoy .

teTeX is the standard install for TeX, it includes pretty much everything
you need (metafont/LaTeX/pdflatex)--at any rate they're all on my system
and all I remember installing was teTeX.

As I know teTeX is a distribution of LaTeX and many packages.  
The packages included in teTeX is quite complete, and you will
be able to do most of what you need to do without any extra
installation.

Yes. Start with teTeX. Once you know more, you can try other stuff.
