Shell commands & moving files

I'm trying to develop the process for installing drupal-5.0. I'm having issues moving files after uploading and unpacking drupal-5.0.tar/gz

I open my shell client "PuTTY", login, and get to the directory just below public_html. (I'm not sure what the name of this directory.)

I unpack drupal-5.0.tar.gz

This is the place I'm having issues. I need to move the contents of drupal-5.0 into public_html I tried: mv drupal-x.x/* drupal-x.x/.htaccess /var/www/html per INSTALL.txt, exchanging x.x to 5.0 and html to public_html

what tables should be set as shared and what should be set as unique per site?

Primarily, I would like it to be:

Any radical changes to installing drupal?

In particular, do these instructions from Dreamhost on how to install Drupal still usable?

Using Advance Poll as a review module

I am looking at Drupal to use for a website I wish to create. I will be adding reviews on Tarot decks and books that visitors will be able to comment on. That I know Drupal can do. I would also like to take a poll on each "deck" or "book" so would want the poll to be attached to the article. Is that possible?

TIA for any help in this.
