Finding Files

Even the most basic of Linux installations can result in a system that contains thousands upon thousands of files. Therefore it's essential to have tools for locating and searching for files. You can use commands like locate to find files by name, find to search for files using more varied or complex criteria, and grep to search for specific text within files to help with these tasks.

Take some time to get familiar with their use - knowing which tool to use in different scenarios can save you a LOT of time!
