Actually, I might have got that wrong. It goes in .bitcoin on Linux, I think.

It always goes in your data directory, which is "%AppData%\Bitcoin\" on Windows, "~/.bitcoin/" on Linux, and "~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/" on Mac. As stated before, you can delete it once Bitcoin-qt indicates it's done syncing to free up a considerable amount of space. The wiki page can give you more specifics if you need them, but it's rather straightforward.

If you're using Linux put in in your main Bitcoin directory, the one above /bin/32 or bin/64.

Don't forget to delete it once you've fully synced to free up 17 gigs. You don't need it anymore once it's finished sync.
