There is no difference between packages that came by default and installed via apt-get or synaptic because they are recorded in same database. You can get a list of such packages with 'dpkg -la'. Using command 'dpkg -la | wc -l' will tell you number of packages installed. When you install something from source, it is not recorded in package database unless you are using checkinstall. So there is no way get list of such packages. Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.
