Multiplexed 454 Data Analysis

I'm a newbie and I'd like to know how to start doing analysis of multiplexed 454 data. I know its wide question but I really don't know where to start?

next-gen sequencing

Do, or do not. There is no try. :)

Your sequencing provider should demultiplex the data for you, assuming you used the standard Roche MID barcode system.

check out the mothur package, it has 454 flow trimming and demultiplexing features that are very handy and usable even if your data has nothing to do with metagenomics

Qiime may be useful to you. Particularly handy is the MacQiime all-in-one install for apple computers.
