good tutorials for the 960 grid layout?

Question

I want to use the 960 grid system to generate the layout for my website. I downloaded a 24 columns fluid version from the custom generator from their site.

Now I want to know every little thing I can do with it. I looked at the css file and found some class names like .suffix_x .prefix_x .push_x .pull_x .clear .clear_fix etc

Where can I find a tutorial explaining all these? How to make leftbar, main div and so on.

Weird that it doesn't teach you how to actually use the grid system on their webpage. And I couldn't find a GOOD tutorial explaining everything on google.

It would be great if someone could recommend such tutorials.

If some of you have used 960 fluid grid system it would be great with links to good tutorials too.
