I have some varied questions:

* What is a good command to search to find a file on the hard drive,
including subdirectories? Is there a better alternative than the "find"
command?

locate


* What are good commands to get a sense or picture of the space availible on the hard drive, vis a vis DOS's chkdsk command?

df -h


* When installing new programs, is it considered better to always install new programs under a user's home directory, or under a directory off the root?

Thanks,


Tony

By the way, you really shouldn't have subject lines that don't match what your subject is. Also, if you reply to some email to start a new subject that will confuse may peoples email programs because they will know that it was a reply and not a new email.
