I found a random position generator, useful for OTB:

3 weeks ago I organized a Chess960 tournament (as part of a standard one) which was the first one being held in the southern part of Germany. Instead of running a random generator - I've got one of course - I asked the players to toss the dice for the starting position. It was a dice from 0 to 9. As I didn't pay attention we've got the same position in the 4th round as in the first one. And nobody realized that we played with the same position 4 rounds later. This Chess960 tournament has been much more attractive for the public than the standard one and several newspapers published big articles explaining in detail what was going on.

There're some good Chess960 resources out there.
This is a great site, with lots of tips, links to instructional videos and games. It's a blog run by Mark Weeks, who posts often, so put it in a RSS/reader application like Google Reader or Bloglines to follow it.
The Chess960 wikipedia article is a good place to start. The only tricky thing about Chess960 is the castling rules, and these are carefully explained there.
I'll post more resources as I find them. Maybe I'll mine Mark Week's blog and come up with some categories. A wiki might be a better way to organize this than a forum. Perhaps we could put some resources up as wikia pages.
