Xenland has posted a lot of information on how to get pushpoold working.  He also has an open source front-end you can use to get started.

I think with 0% experience you are better off using one of the lower end private pool services offered in the forums.  I don't know specifics on costs or capabilities but that would be your best bet.

Dig a hole and fill it with water.

JK, pushpoold seems to be the best option out there.

i was looking into this too, but gave up when i realized btcguild offers a 0% pool.

it's gonna be kinda hard to offer something better.  unless you're just pooling for yourself and friends.

People with a lot of experience find it challenging. It's a new frontier, where you don't read the documentation, you write the documentation. Even if you get the basic pool software pushpool set up, you have to write your own front end web code to interface with a database and manage payments and users accounts, and have the technical abilities to fix database corruption and solve network issues as they come up, basically the skills to work at a datacenter. Then you need to quickly attract users so that the pool doesn't linger with only 20 users (http://bithasher.com/index.php/news) barely solving any blocks.

BTW, I want to build my own space shuttle, but have no experience in aerospace engineering. How would I do this?
