Something I mention to new linux users...

When you install an rpm, the concept of "where did this software install"
doesn't really apply anymore.  It is a holdover from your previous Windows/Mac
experience.  Software installed from an rpm is generally highly integrated into
the system, binaries are generally in /usr/bin, configuration files are
generally in /etc, docs are generally in /usr/share/doc or /usr/share/man,
variable data is generally in /var, etc.

And of course, you can easily query the rpm database for just about anything.
