By far, the best way to start off is by building up your own bike - you aquire goog technical knowledge and you'll end up with something personalised to be proud of. However, if you want to get riding straight away, use the forum search function and read the 'OTP' threads.
If you do decide to take the plunge then read up on Sheldon Brown's website for tech info, get yourself a frame and a tool kit such as this one and start building up one componant at a time. You can do this on the cheap by buying form other forum members or over the net.... and don't be afraid ask for advice, although it's generally best if you search for the info you need before starting a new thread.
