This one only exists if you have installed the ConTeXt Updater i-Package.
The basic ConTeXt is in the teTeX tree:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme

Basically you can always install the most recent ConTeXt (now 2005.03.16)
with the ConTeXt updater package. But a big caveat: you will need to
install new Latin Modern by hand because the latest ConTeXt beta depends
on having the latest Latin Modern.
