When I install any packages where does it gets "installed into" (by default)?
I mean is it the /home folder?? Or somewhere else?
Helps appreciated.
Thank you.

Usually linux apps are installed into usr/bin or usr/lib depending.
Games are intalled under usr/games.
Your home directory is for personal files, it contains no real applications unless you untar a app like firefox off the web or something like that.
The home directory is more like my documents under windows then anything else.

That's a loaded question! Generally, the executable part of the program ends up in /bin...but there are all kinds of exceptions. I'm told the linux file system is more logical that Windows...I believe it, I'm just still not used to how it works.
Configuration files / directories of installed programs will reside in the /home directory of the user...so you'll see lots of configuration files in your home directory (they're generally hidden) if you do a ls -ah (list files, attributes hidden)
I think the software gets installed into many places.

if you go to the package in synaptic and right click there is an option like view installed files or something like that, sorry, i havent used gnome in a while =|. But that is useful for finding where an application installed too....
