Metasploit tutorial

hi
i m a student of an eminent technical institue and i m interested in penetration testing project metasploit(www.metasploit.com).
I have prilimenary knowledge but i want to make most out of it. I need a DETAILED tutorial i.e. what are payloads exactly mean,how to select the best one for a given exploit, on which port of remote machine we can run a given exploit  and other stuff. I searched on google and on www.metasploit.com but they give only brief overview assuming some backgruond knowledge.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

ASKER

i have read them. they explain general procedure not how one can decide best payload for the exploit and what does this payload mean and how it plays its role in the process, these issues are not addressed well. they just say to choose a particular without expaining why.
