Hi All,

Jason, you can do a whereis 'filenane', minus the quotes and it should 
tell you where it is. Below is an examle for firefox,

[root at localhost ~]# whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz

or which
[root at localhost ~]# which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
 HTH. Cheers.
