I need to go buy a book about this stuff, the kegging part especially confuses me.

Plenty of good ones out there. Palmer's "How to Brew" is an excellent resource. Papazian's books are good ones as well. Check out the forums at MoreBeer and Northern Brewer, as well as the rec.crafts.brewing newsgroup for a big community of online brewers.
As far as kegging, it seems a lot more intimidating than it really is. All you're doing is using an old soda keg (the things Coke and Pepsi used to ship their syrup in) to hold the beer. You have a gas in and a liquid out connector on the keg. CO2 goes in, and the liquid out is attached to a faucet of some variety (either a nice chrome one or a picnic faucet). The parts may seem complicated, but once you really look at it, its not bad at all. And you'll never bottle again - expect for competitions.
