2012-07-25 Thread Barry Drake

[ubuntu-uk] Printing out a report of installed applications?

2012-07-25 Thread Gordon Burgess-Parker
Windows has a brilliant utility that allows a full report of the applications installed (plus a lot more) called Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. Is there such a utility for Ubuntu? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give SDF.org a try, it looks like it should have everything I need. Unfortunately BitFolk's VPS is a little out of my price range. The reason I wanted a hosted shell account instead of just using my own Linux machine is so that I can have access to a few scripts
