It's not that hard, I'm new to mercurial myself (though I used a bit of monotone before).

Since you mention tortoisehg one thing in advance: if you're not into the command line, mercurial might not be for you. The GUIs are IMHO not ready for prime time.

Read and do the http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Tutorial.

Possibly at least skim through 
http://www.red-bean.com/~bos/hgbook.pdf

Espicially chapter 6 might be interesting for you.

Look at http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ for download and installation instructions.

If this does not satisfy you look at 
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ForestExtension
and search the mailing list for forest.

This is a long version of RTFM. It should get you started.
