ntomlin asked "should I play a decker or play a muscletype?"
Your best bet is to get a group together and play the six types:
decker,samuraai, shaman, mage, rigger, physad. Then, let each player bone
up on the rules that pertain specifically to them. The GM should be
familiar with all the rules, but Shadowrun has so many ins and outs that
the only way to gain expertise is to actually play.
As a player, pick the archetype that you want. Samurai can be
just as complicated as deckers to design, escpecially if you're using
any of the "toy books"(SSC, Shadowtech, etc).
