Default Completely Confused on Root/Recovery BLAH BLAH

So I have been rooting and roming my phones for awhile. I just bought a Galaxy Tab and I am so damn lost on what is the proper procedure for doing a root and CW recovery.

Is anyone else in this same boat? I keep digging and digging on it.

Do I have to Root to Install CW? Do I install CW First then Root?

UGH

I feel like I have been eating retard sandwiches on this.

Any Help?
