Lost in the ESX file system

Windows administrators may become lost in the ESX file system. There are two methods I know of for locating files in the ESX Service Console.

whereis - It's the shorter of the two methods but only works with source/binary files. On the plus side, it also locates manual sections.
ie. whereis esxcfg-vswitch

find - This is the method I commonly use
ie. find / |grep .iso (or find / -iname *.iso) note the different results
