["M A" <mmat1974 hotmail com>]

HI,

I am new to linux. i have redhat 8.0 and i have a very simple question
if i download a source code(not RPM package) for some software and i want to 
installed using configure, make and make install.
In what folder do the software get installed? and what if i want to removed 
how can i do that?
for example in windows most of the software get installed under program 
files and you could remove it using add and remove from control panal.

i really thank you in advance for your help, and please forgive me that iam 
still new to linux and really lost.
