[newbie] Where do Programs Go?

[andy barnes]

When you install an RPM, you have to be in root, don't you??



OK..when you install, where does Linux put this program.. Bear with me
as I'm used to a Windows environment, where it puts it either onto your
C drive or into Program Files on C drive, and you kind find an .exe even
if you can't see an icon to click.. 



When you revert to user, I can't work out how to run a program after
it's installed.


Cheers
