Pete gave some excellent pointers for starting out.  The only other, 
minor detail I would add is to practice building from the git 
repository.  These projects are definitely in the "heavy development" 
phase, and problems with release tarballs may have already been fixed in 
the git repo by the time someone gets around to reporting the bug.

Welcome aboard!
