Actually it is much easier on Linux to find out which files belong to a 
package, use "dpkg -L packagename" for Debian or (IIRC) "rpm -ql packagename" 
for rpm-based systems. This is much better than under Windows where you can 
not know which files have been written to the Windows system directory or 
which changes have been made to the registry.
