Not being a Mandrake user (I run Debian here), I can't give you 
Mandrake-specific help at any level of detail.  Since Mandrake is an 
rpm-based distro, I'd expect you need to find an 
apache_something_or_other.rpm, not apache_something_or_other.tar.gz or 
apache_something_or_other.tgz .

On my systems, apache installed at /usr/sbin/apache, BTW.

There is a command called "find" that is a rough equivalent. If you have 
the "locate" database installed, there is also "locate", which is faster. 
Finally, for executables in the PATH, there is the "which" command. Their 
respective man pages should provides the needed details.

If you are running a window manager on top of X, some of them have 
GUI-based find-like apps. Also, I think Midnight Commander has some 
find-like capabilities.
