The parameters page helps a lot:

---home---
Your call for the two on the home page would be something like:
[!Ditto? &startID=`5` &tpl=`homeTPL` &display=`2`!]
The parameter page above should help you customize your Ditto call for your needs.
If you wanted the link to go directly to the article then the TPL (homeTPL) would be something like:
<h2><a href="[~[+id+]~]" title="[+title+]">[+title+]</a></h2>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
If you wanted the link to go to a page listing the 10 latest articles then the TPL (homeTPL) would be something like (the link is static):
<h2><a href="[~5~]" title="[+title+]">[+title+]</a></h2>
<p>[+introtextt+]</p>
---interior---
Your call on the interior page
[!Ditto? &startID=`5` &tpl=`interiorTPL` &display=`10`!]
Your interior page with the 10 latest articles might look something like this:
<h2>[+title+]</h2>
<p>[+content+]</p>
<div class="divider"></div>
You can pretty much customize the output any way you want with any of the fields or TVs available to you.
