i am playing around with mandrake linux, iam al inux newbie. there are so many fodlers here and there. usr, lib, and all taht. what is the linux equivalent of the Program Files folder? That is, in WIndows, one usually installs programs in the Program Files folder, what is the equivalent in linux? Suppose i want to install firefox, where do i install it too?

Does linux have somethuing like a registry as in WIndows??
 
The equivilent of the Program Files folder is:
/bin
/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin

Where FF would go depends on how you install it. If you use the package management tools for Mandrake it would probably be installed in /usr/bin. If you compiled it from src it would go in /usr/local/bin.

There is no registry, thankfully.
