Okay, here i go... I just recently installed mandrake 8.2 and it came with the apache web server. Now the questions I mostly have are probably pretty basic. I need to know how to run the server, and set it up so that i can host my own web pages. That's all I really want. It would be great if anyone knew of a walkthrough on how to set up the server and host pages. In the end i want to be able to open a browser and type http://my_web_page_at_home.com and have it come up.
Thanks

First, read up on the documentation on how to run Apache. You'll need to configure it, and you may need to install additional stuff depending on what kind of webpages exactly you're serving up. For instance, if you want to use PHP, you need to install it.
Second, getting a domain names means you need to buy it. Get it off a registrar and then now you have two options. You either setup your own DNS server or use a free one (eg: zoneedit.com). This should let you type http://my_webpage.com
