Personally, I found it using the <locate> command. I believe <locate>
is on the default install and the database is updated each night
by cron /if/ your computer stays on. Otherwise do <sudo updatedb> (and
wait a while for it to finish), then <locate rute>. (or anything else
you might want to find)
If by chance it isn't on the default install then
<sudo apt-get install findutils> or <sudo apt-get install slocate>
(slocate is the newer replacement)
BTW, top posting is slightly frowned upon.
