Here's a nickel's worth:  have patience.  ;)  The unix file system
conventions are--to borrow from Douglas Adams--almost, but not quite,
entirely unintuitive.  They'll take a little while to learn.  For now,
just know that /etc is where most things are configured system-wide.

Many linux installers provide options for selecting which partitions
should be formatted upon installation.  So you should be able to just
pop in an install CD and redo/reformat your partitions as needed during
installation.
