You don't have to do anything with the PATH unless you install povray in
a non-standard place. But you will have to get used to typing commands
instead of clicking on icons (Not that you can't do much with with a
gui, but the commandline is the natural and most efficient interface to
a Unix system). Others have already posted how to invoke povray from a
terminal window.

I suggest you get a good indroductory book to Linux (O'Reilly's
nutshell-books are generally quite good, so I guess "Linux in a
Nutshell" is, too).

I guess I could write a short tutorial on how to use povray with
makefiles, if there isn't one already.
