Newbie section?

Can anyone suggest in which area I should ask dumb newbie questions?

There is no newbie section. Look at the list of forums and post your question in the forum that matches best. if you aren't sure, post it here in General Questions.

Is there a simple step by step guide to getting things set up?
I can see that it may take some time to get things to work and don't want to be without Internet access at a critical point when I mess everything up? Initially can I use both my cable router and pfSense to access the Internet and eventually turn on 'modem-mode' on the cable router leaving pfSense fully in control?

There are also about a zillion guides, tutorials and videos online about pfSense.
