[SLUG] lost and confused

Geez, this linux stuff is tough to figure out.

Where do I find things in this system of directories?

While surfing with Mozilla, I clicked on a page that
requires a Java plugin, and was given an option of
downloading a self-extracting java install file.

I think ... 'maybe I better read the instructions for this.'

They say:
"Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Mozilla
installation directory"

In M$ windows, I can read the properties of any
shortcut and find what that program is and where
it is located.

Now I know I can't ask you guys where the Mozilla
directory is ... it varies with each distro, right?

But there oughtta be a way to ask my os where it is,
am I right?

For that matter I ought to be able to locate the
directories for just about any program, shouldn't I?

How do I do that?
