I'm starting to get a handle on using the command line, but the book I have fails to answer a few questions:

1. How can you open a program like OpenOffice from the command line?
2. using just the command line, how do you install a program from the .tar or .gz file you get from the download?
3. How do you uninstall a program? (I need to wipe my copy of RealPlayer clean and re-install it.)
4. When you get good at using the command line, do you get to the point where you don't even use the GUI (I have RedHat v8)?
5. If you launch applications and all the rest from the command line, does the machine run faster overall?
6. How do you display the table of contents for the man files?


Thanks in advance for your help -
