Hi Gronesy,
There's a plugin called which will automatically truncate the post after the first paragraph or two.
If you prefer to have the excerpt displayed and not a teaser (surprisingly, they are two different things -- the teaser is the text that appears before the break created by the more tag), then you'd need to edit your index.php template file to replace <php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>.
IMO, the plugin is your safest bet and you don't need to worry about mucking with code in the event you ever want to switch back.
