Hello tenishq4u,

Linux also has a directory for each individual user. It is called the "Home" directory. When you are logged in you can simply go to "Home" which serves as the equivalent of "My Documents" in Windows.

Hope this helps.

In Linux, every user has his own Desktop, home and personal settings. Users have full access in there Home folder only but they can read files of other users unless restricted to do so.

which is the program file folder in linux?

There are four main ones: /bin for the most essential user commands, /sbin for the most essential housekeeping commands, and /usr/bin and /usr/sbin for the less essential ones.

It depends on your distro. In Red Hat you would use rpm. You probably have a graphical front end to this program; look in your desktop menus.
