Quick note (not a lecture, just point of info as judging from your posts
you're always eager to learn--Josh, that is--err, not that Tillman isn't
eager to learn, uh, oh the heck with it :)   ).

Doing a 

man locate

would have given you the information.  (If you forget in the future,
once you do man locate, just page down to the end, where they list the
files....errr, not that it ever happens to me, you understand but, err
uh, a friend of mine--yeah, that's it, a friend of mine, sometimes has
that problem)  :)
