How would you find where a particular file is located in a Linux system?
Locating files efficiently is a key skill in system administration.

There are a few methods, but I recommend using either the find or plocate commands for this purpose.

For example:

find / -name testfile searches the entire filesystem, while find . -name testfile searches the current directory.
