BTW, maybe I shall mention that modern Linux does not have a directory
organization similiar to Windows's "Program Files". Our binaries usually
go in /usr/bin, our libraries in /usr/lib, our configuration files in
/etc, etc.. We tend to use some packaging system (RPM for Fedora, and
many others) to keep track of what goes where, and do the management
(uninstalls, upgrades, etc).
Look at
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html
and look at some RPM documentation. to get a clearer idea of how it works.
Regards,
Andrey
