Hi, i've just installed drupal and can't figure out how to categorize content. Would be grateful for any help.
I have 2 content types - "video" and "articles".
I need to have 2 categories - "health" and "food".
So, I see it like that:
I add 2 articles to the "health" section, they should have a path like mysite.com/health/1/ and mysite.com/health/2/
and when I go to mysite.com/health/ I get a list of all articles in this category.
Is it even possible?

It is possible. Taxonomy and
It is possible. Taxonomy and paths are two different things which you must address separately.
Taxonomy:
Create a "Topics" vocabulary, make it apply to your 2 content types, and add your topics in it as terms (categories). Then, you can get a list of all articles in a category by browsing to taxonomy/term/{category-id} (ugly, but it can change)
Paths:
Enable the path module. Now, each time you create or edit an article you will be able to give it a path alias (like "health/2" or "health/short-title") manually. Additionally, an "URL alias" menu item will appear the admin menu, where you can manually alias for example "taxonomy/term/5" (or whatever is your category id) to "health".
More path options:
You can install the http://drupal.org/project/pathauto module (a very popular one), and set up some rules to create path aliases automatically.
You can install the http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect module, so that the initial "ugly" paths always redirect to the aliases.
Thanx a lot! Very clear and
