It will be saved to the directory you are in (when using the wget command). For most of us that would be our home directory / username (unless we cd into another directory).

If my username is “joe”, then the file would be saved in: /home/joe

Regarding this line…

wget http://syserr.com/stuff/madwifi-cvs-20051025.tar.gz

Where will the file be saved right after it got downloaded?

To previous commenters: I’ve been told that apt-get and aptitute have the same functionality since Ubuntu ~6.04.

Also, with Ubuntu 8.04 I understand the command should be “aptitude” in place of “apt-get”. I understand that aptitude removes unused dependencies when uninstalling an application, whereas apt-get does not. I did a quick google to confirm this and found a great blog post about the differences here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude
