process priority in linux

Can anyone point me to a good doc on processes in general under
linux/unix, and more specifically on how to set priority (if this is
possible)

I have a process that I would like to have use any _free_ clock cycles,
but that would ease off if any other process needed the cpu.

Thanks,
