Indeed, according to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool#Joining_the_pool you have to launch p2pool binary and just use your common miner software on 127.0.0.1:9332

Eligius does keep transaction fees.  I think it would be deceptive to describe it as "100% free".

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-05-04)

I know Eligius doesn't have a lengthly setup process, you just use your payout address as the username.

Which other pools are this easy to start with?

You can try <http://p2pool.info/>

And P2Pool.info does not keep fees, they redistribute it ;)

In general you don't have to subscribe to P2P Pool (just search for "p2p bitcoin pool").
