But you have to start somewhere. I download and installed an RPM file (sylpheed) on Mandrake 8.0. Question is, where the heck did it go? Is there a default folder Linux installs to?

Most of the time the executable goes into /usr/bin. To find files, the 'locate' command is great.

1st run 'updatedb' to include all new files in the search.

then 'locate FILENAME' to find the file you are looking for.
