    Code:
    which program-name
    If it gives any output you have that program installed. If it simply comes back to the prompt without any output, you don't have that program installed.

    Code:
    aptitude show <package>
    or
    Code:
    aptitude show <package> | grep State
    or
    Code:
    aptitude search <package>
    (i = installed)
