join a pool is the best way

Yep.  It is pretty straightforward:

  • Install the bitcoin client so you have an address for the pool to send to
  • Install a miner (I used DiabloMiner)
  • Pick a pool
  • Sign up with the pool if necessary (I started with Eligus and you don't even need to sign up)
  • Start your miner with the information for your chosen pool
