If you want nice random terrain, generate a big ole flat grid of triangles in the xz plane, and deform them using the technique I describe in http://gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=117331.

Then when you have the basic technique down, try procedural texturing, improving the deformation (hint: FBM), LOD, etc.

HTH...
