[ale] Help with finding a database

[Nathan J. Underwood]

The database won't actually *be* on the filesystem (ok, it will, but not 
like I think you're expecting it to be).  In order to *see* the 
database, you'll need to use a database client.  The webmin client is 
ok, but there's also a command line client (it's called, oddly enough, 
mysql), and a couple of GUI clients from MySQL (my personal favorite is 
the MySQL Control Center).
