In first column there must be nodes of some type (for example blog entries) and categories and in second column the same type nodes but with other categories. For example i have created two vocabularies in taxonomy: News articles, Tech articles. And I need to display News articles in first column and Tech articles in second column on front page. Colud any one help me with this problem?

This is fairly straightforward, though Views module which you will need is not yet ready for production sites.

Try the following:

1) Use views module to create the lists of content you want as blocks.
2) Create two regions in your theme in the theme.info file and create a page-front.tpl.php file.
3) Tell the blocks you created in (1) to appear in the regions you created in (2) via the blocks page in the admin

Hope this helps.
