Linux, like all other forms of Unix, doesn't need or use a .exe suffix to identify an executable file. The executable for Xine, as it happens, is generally just called "xine". Most files contain a "magic number" that identifies their type, leaving you free to call them whatever you want. You'll find suffixes here and there, but they're mostly for convenience.

Try "locate xine". locate is a very handy utility; it searches through a database to find files, instead of crunching its way through your entire filesystem. While this is vastly faster (and less noisy), the catch is that the database isn't updated in realtime; instead, a programme called "updatedb" is run every day or so to do that. locate returns everything that contains a matching string, though, so you may find yourself wading through a few screenfuls of results. "locate xine | more" allows you to check it a screenful at a time, if you don't feel like scrolling back up. -- Cheers, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
