check out Net-SNMP

Since your a newbie to UNIX I hope you have SNMP knowledge. SNMP setup is not very intuitive IMHO.

Yeah 90% of my job is SNMP on Nix... it is a very dull and full on thing to explain to people when you get right into it.

Cacti forums are a great place to find out information, but, if you just wish to get something going then install the package for your system of NetSNMP and the basic config parameters are fairly straight forward setup you allowed zones and community string (recommend v2c BTW).

After this start /etc/init.d/snmpd start and you should be able to connect.

Then you may need to start looking into MIB's.

Cacti and Zenoss are good software packages, But as said before looking into how SNMP works and looking at MIBs would be a good start.
