Q: Finding a directory in a Linux Terminal How can I find a particular directory in a terminal window in Linux? I think it involves using grep, but I'm not sure how.

A: Would you be looking for something like this?

find . -type d | grep DIRNAME


A: If you have it installed, locate is designed for this. 
Google "man locate"

A: If you want to find a particular directory that might be anywhere on your computer, the following will work, but it might take a while.
find / -name DIRNAME -type d
