Generally, there is also a command 'make uninstall' but it all depends on Makefile. So you should keep Makefile in case you plan to uninstall the software installed by make. Its like 'uninstall.isu' files on windows.

No. Makefiles have a lot of uses in project management. Try to read up on tools like make, automake, autoconf, etc. There is a book called the "The Autobook" which describes all the tools used for project management in the GNU world. I think it is available on http://www.andamooka.org/ Or you can simply search on google ...
Some Makefile's do have the "uninstall" target, in which case a "make uninstall" will do the job. But the best thing is to do "make -n install" or "make -n" and dump the output into a file. The -n option simply simulates all the actions that make will take, without actually doing anything. you can use this file to figure out which files got installed where on your system.

This book is available as a package in Debian archives.
........, says IDC, 40 percent of German corporations were doing so as well. Last week the Bundestag, Germany�s Parliament, decided to switch its servers to Linux from Windows. �My wish would be to declare the entire Bundestag a Microsoft-free zone,� said Jorg Tauss, a deputy for the Social Democrats. It would be irresponsible, he said, to entrust the work of Parliament to closed-source software............

........� � Microsoft is not taking the threat lying down. It now allows some of its larger corporate customers to tinker with Windows software. In Berlin, Microsoft hired a German lobbying firm to sway the Bundestag. In the end, Microsoft persuaded the Parliament to continue using Windows for 5,000 new PCs. But the servers are already in the hands of the enemy. � � � �
