Maybe this is the wrong forum please forgive me.
Is it there a good ubuntu document to explain ubuntu file structure ?
for example when I use synaptic to install a program where does that program is installed ? I can't find where MySql is installed in ubuntu file structure.
I mean a doc that explain in detail ubuntu file structure.
For example File System

Ubuntu follows the FHS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard). To see what files a specific package has installed, you can use
dpkg -L packagename

To find things, use:



whereis $PROGRAM


Or to find the program itself, use:



which $PROGRAM




~$whereis opera
opera: /usr/bin/opera /usr/lib/opera /usr/share/opera /usr/share/man/man1/opera.1.gz
~$which opera
/usr/bin/opera
~$
