Not to pick nits, but the original post mentioned that he attempted to use
the 'find' command.  While we may not have needed to digress into other
*nix environments (since Tom did also mention that he was using Ubuntu),
knowing that a tool you are using is not the same everywhere seems like
valuable information.
