While there are a lot of commands to tell you what is installed on your
system, I like this one:
dpgk -l | grep [packagename]
For example, on my Kubuntu system:
$ dpkg -l | grep xserver
ii xserver-xorg 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 the X.Org X server
ii xserver-xorg-core 1.0.2-0ubuntu10 X.Org X server -- core server
Knowing what package name to look for is half the battle, so this page on
debian.org is good for Real Debian users:
http://www.us.debian.org/distrib/packages
Look in 'View package lists' to browse package lists by category. Scroll down
the page for more search options.
