I like tubes but there are some good deals on no-tubes wheelsets. These would help loads on my current whippet build. I've no experience whatsoever.

where do I start?
what do I need to know?

Do you mean Stan's rims, or just ones designed for tubeless? UST rim + tyre is a doddle; Stan's kit a bit more work to get sealed, but once it's done it works well.

Lots of info[url= http://http://www.notubes.com/support.php ]here[/url] about tyres that work; IME UST tyres work better as they have stiffer sidewalls, but some non-UST tyres will work with sealant.

Stands seems to be a fit and forget solution. Works for me and I have the mechanical abilities of a wombat

I'll come round and do it for you Eddie. All mine are tubeless and I wouldn't go back to tubes. No ghetto rubbish though.

I'll certainly take your hand to lead you away from such a silly idea. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
