I am mostly a network guy but trying to learn design for fun. Fed up of Front page etc, want to do a real design for eg photoshop, slicing the image coding etc. Any good resource available to guide a beginner?

A nice tutorial site is http://www.good-tutorials.com/ .

i suggest buying a book such as the photoshop bible, thats how I learned and find it very good to have all the referencing in one place.

but the internet is packed full of nice easy tutorials i suppose

hmm I think online learning is th ebest, you should ask some people with an IM thats the best way. Thats how I learned. Books sucks!

Whats better for web design images and easier... photoshop or paintshop pro?

It depends really.

Photoshop if you're really gonna give it your all and produce some really slick layout like at shiver7.com or something.

If you're just gonna do gradients, buttons, and icons etc, i'd say PSP.
