Most installations of Oracle on UNIX are installed in a directory named something like /oracle, /oracle81, etc... try df -k and give a look
If Oracle is running you can find the instance by issuing ps -ef | grep pmon
If no luck with the first two suggestions then use the find command from root and look for the oratab file. It is under /etc on our AIX box. On one platform we were on it may have been under /var/opt/oracle.
