Ok guys I'm pretty new to geoserver but I have read through most of the
documentation and tutorials and currently have managed to upload a shapefile
and have it correctly display when you go to mapPreview.do.
I have a few problems though. Firstly how do you accurately determine the
SRS value?, because I managed to get what I think is the correct value for
one shapefile but the others are failing to display anything.
Secondly how do you display a raster image in geoserver?. The image I have
is a TIFF/GeoTIFF (but I can easily change it to PNG) aerial photo, I have
looked everywhere but can't seem to find an option for it.
Lastly what I am looking to do is take this image and serve it by itself in
a new window with various zoom and pan optiions however I can't seem to find
anywhere how to do this. I can only get to the uploading and preview a
shapefile stage.
Any links to good tutorials or information you can provide on any of these
topics would be greatly appreciated.
Brad

Most shapefile in the wild do not come with any SRS information at all,
you're just supposed to know what SRS they are in. If you're like, you'll have a .prj file in the set that gives you that information.

The ability to serve raster data is provided in Geosever 1.5.x onwards.
You'll have to try out 1.5.0beta if you need that.

Geosever is just that, a server, what you're looking for is a client as well. There is a list of clients here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Clients
If you need a browser based one and you want instant satisfaction (that is, download, modify an example, done), I would suggest to try out OpenLayers, if you want more functionality but still pure browser based solution, MapBuilder, if you have a setup with PHP on the server side (that is, you're leveraging Geoserver hidden behind a public site using PHP), MapBender.
Hope this helps
