Generally speaking, yes, it is better to put the computer to sleep than it is to shut it down, for two reasons:

1. It's better for you - resuming from sleep mode is a lot faster than going through the entire boot up process.

2. It's better for the computer - resuming operation from a low-powered state is less harsh on you computer components than when you jolt it alive by turning the power on from a shut down state.

What is the difference between install and uninstall?

In simple terms, installing is putting new software into your computer and uninstalling software is removing it from your computer. When something installs, it does more than copy itself on to your computer. It will also change things on your computer to enable it to function, and it will put a lot of files on it and create folders. Uninstalling is not just deleting the software, but also reversing all of the changes made when the software was installed.
