Before you start

On the kind recommendation of folks here, I've bought the books, read documentation provided here, etc. However, the Drupal docs lead the new user right into installing and using. That's great. I learn by doing v.s., just reading theory.

Question; Install WHERE??? My ISP provides one-click installation of Drupal (which I did). The Drupal docs imply installation locally.

I am looking to build a ranking/voting website. I need some help putting this together.

We are currently using MS Access 2003 for our company. We manufacture products and sell them to customers.

In general db table for products have:
Each product has unit price, components that they are made of, images of products etc

db for customers have:
address, name phone etc and importantly orders

db for orders have:
order date, shipment date products that they orders quantity, price, discount etc.

From the above tables we can create invoices reports etc in pdf.

Please
I would to know if the drupal forum sctruture is native from Drupal.
Thank you
