    Linux questions (ubuntu)

    Is there a master list of all programs that are installed somewhere? I went to the software center and looked, but was kinda clunky running around looking for stuff.

    I am running luninuxOS (cause they want that MAC experience on their notebook...)

    I also scored 3 dell optiplexes and 9 various laptops today that I plan on ripping out the cpus adn ram of and seeing if this laptop will take a cpu upgrade...

    Kinda sorta probably not but good enough might be something like:

    $ dpkg -l

      Well then, how do I get an inventory of all that I have installed? Is it only through that console called software center or something?

      THanks, I will try that command out tomorrow.

        "dpkg -l" will get you the list of all the deb packages installed.
        Things installed outside of the packaging system will not be listed.

        Since you're play with new-to-you hardware, wouldn't it make more sense to just do a clean install?

          dpkg -l works for anything installed by that package manager, but if you installed anything else via source, that won't be covered.

          When I compile from source and install, I usually --prefix=/inst/pkg-ver/<name_of_program-version_number>, symlink to that dir in /inst/pkg/<name_of_program> and then symlink /inst/pkg/<name_of_program>/bin and ./sbin in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin respectively, to keep things clean (and you don't mess with the native OS'es install).

          e.g. If I install a custom JVM, Apache Tomcat, or Perl, I like to put it in a separate dir structure and then re-home (e.g. Set $JAVA_HOME, or set compile time vars) to the installed apps in that /inst dir structure.

            I have tried about 50-60 different distros/versions of distros over the years.

            I still haven't found one to beat Pear Linux OS. Now you are going to MAKE me try another (luninuxOS)?
