Hey guys, could someone help me out hear?

I've managed to find the wallet.data for Bitcoin and back it up, but the file lay out for Litecoin seams totally different and can't seam to find it. Anyone hear know how to locate it?

first i would like to make it well know that i have NO idea what i'm doing with bitcoin yet so please forgive any of my Nivea question's

So i hear about bitcoin yesterday on the linux action show. so i google it and the very first site i get to is http://www.bitcoinplus.com/
and i'm supped, "all i have to do is park my browser on this page and it will slowly make me money?" so as it generated and went on and read the wikipedia page and some blogs, and eventually got to the .org bitcoin site so i download the cliant and am at a total loss at first at how to even run it (apparently the linux version is just the windows version running though wine?) and now i cant even figure out how to use it.

so i guess my first question is, there any reason not to just let it "mine" though java on the web page (that's pool mining right?) or is there realse intensive to figure out how to run it on a software level.

P.S. i've managed about 20 "payouts" (.00208162 BTC) on my laptop working for for the better part of a day (surprisingly the temps seam stable) so i'm going to give it a good cool down period soon.
