New to postgres -' how to' tips needed

Hi,

I'm completely new to postgres. My main job will be to install and configure it properly and I'm not sure how much I can rely on the default values.

Are there any good articles howto install and configure postgres? I have found the online documentation but need something simple.

Any suggestions comments are welcome.

Thanks,
