I changed my CLASSPATH and PATH variables in my .bashrc file and when I opened the terminal again I had no commands. The bash says that it cannot find any command. I want to know the folder where all the commands are? I tryied /usr/bin/ but didnt worked. Hope you can help me with this.

you sure you haven't messed up the path variable? Just enter the binary paths to the various in this form: PATH=$PATH:/home/local/bin:/opt/foo/bin
($PATH is added so that the existing variables in /etc/profile are also added)

find would work....providing that you can find the binary location as you can't run any commands!
Most executables are stored in: /bin - basic commands like "ls" /sbin - basic admin commands like "mount" /usr/bin - other stuff like "find" /usr/sbin - other root stuff like "urpmi" /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin - tend to be locally installed stuff, specific to the computer like user installed programs etc.
As balram said, make sure that you have PATH=$PATH:blah:blah:blah in your .bashrc
