The OpenGeo Suite includes Geoserver, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, OpenLayers, GeoWebCache, and a few other tools.
The tutorial starts with installing the Geoserver Suite, but if you already have some or all of the pieces installed, you can work through the rest of the tutorial. It is easier to use the Geoserver Suite when working through the tutorial, however, since the suite is configured so that everything works exactly as described in the tutorial. The tutorial covers creating databases, loading data from shapefiles into PostGIS, using the OpenLayers Javascript library, and using the GeoWebCache tile caching sytem, among other things.
