Theory only helps to point, practical is different because you are
dealing with software implementations of GIS, someone was making a
mapnik virtual image that might be as good a place to start as any.

Not really, most of the OSM tools are documented to a point, it would
be really nice if there was more documentation but can't always have
everything we want.

I'd suggest, or at least this is how I learn, figure out a goal and
then try to achieve it, if I get stuck I ask questions, the dev list
would be more appropriate for this.
