Usually, a new install is from booting the cd. The installer takes
over from there.

Depends on the command. If you mean Linux pretty close to the uxix
commands like ls, grep, ps, sed, ..... yes.

Yes Linux can be installed from CD though it isn't like windows.
Linux actually gives you choices of what you want installed.

Many of the Linux commands are the same as UNIX though there can
be differences as well.

Yes, if you choose the right distribution.

Go read some of the linux FAQs and howtos. Your question is completely
incomprehensible to me, and therefore I deduce you have a terminology
problem, which you will solve by reading one of the appropriate howtos.
No - I don't know whhich you will like best. Maybe

Uh ... where is "my"? Mexico? Malysia! Well, in malaysia you speak
english! The above makes no sense in english. Did you mean "are linux
commands the same as in Unix"? If so, the answer is: linux statisfies
posix, more or less.

Also note that many basic operating system commands, such as ls, tar,
gzip, ps, etc. use the more powerful BSD formats for things and include
the GNU style options, rather than the decrepit and deserve-to-be-shot
defaults of many of the genuine AT&T UNIX versions.

For example, GNU tar by default strips the leading "/" when creating and
when reading tar files. This allows you to un-tar them into a local
directory rather than over-writiing your system's active versions of,
for example, "/etc/passwd" when looking at a tar file for your old copy
of /etc/passwd.
