So, like any newbie, I had to play with the Synaptic Package Manager. I've always installed programs I need from the CLI with apt-get, but every so often I browse the GUI package manager for things i may be interested in.
What I've realized, is that I always assumed after I installed stuff I'd find and play with it later... but it turns out most things aren't creating an icon.
Now, if I know what I installed, I can run it from a command line... but there is so much in the package manager... is there a way to have it display the things I've installed? If not, I have no way of knowing what I've installed without going through and looking for green boxes in the GUI.
