I think I'm going to play with all of these today. Thanks. Have you ever checked out any of the other Linux and Open Source threads? I see you're new and an open source user. I never touched Scribus but I blog - http://golivelively.com/tag/linux/

Thanks for the link. Checked it out and bookmarked it. That's the thing about us FOSS folks, we have a nasty habit of exploration that Windows and Apple user seem to not have. Nothing against them, but proprietary OSs & Software tend to give very little in the ways of transparency & user freedom. That's why I love & almost exclusively use FOSS. Also, if you're going to explore Scribus, then I invite you to check out Inkccape as well. It's the FOSS version of Illustrator [Vector-graphics, etc.]

I have always typed the following in the terminal: dpkg -l
Then again, I have been using Ubuntu based Linux for a while now.

See, the problem with
dpkg -l
or even
dpkg -l | grep all | less
is that there's so much noise.
I only want to see installed apps that I use manually, not packages that enable the entire user interface - xfce-*, python, etc.

SGT (Join to see) I see. Wouldn't you get that from your repo's "software center?" Or are you looking for a more accurate/ geeky solution?

SSgt Mark Lines - More accurate/geeky solution that spans multiple distros. MX-60 package manager isn't that sleek.
No worries. Thanks for suggestion anyway. I'll jump on StackExchange again later.
