Installed programs won't show up


I'm running Kubuntu LL 10.04 Netbook Remix on an Asus EEE PC 1005HAB netbook. When I install programs they don't show up right away.

I used it to install Gimp, which also didn't show until after a restart. I installed Eqonimize! and it showed up immediately. But I just now installed K3b and it's not showing up. I can start it from ...

How should I partition my hard drive for multiple Linux distros?


 /dev/sda,sdb,sdc = RAID 0 Win XP and 7 (450 GB)
 /dev/sdd = Kubuntu (596 GB)
 /dev/sde = music (74.50 GB)

This question concerns my /dev/sdd Kubuntu drive.

 I can't figure out the best way to format my sdd drive which is listed by GParted as being 596.17 GiB.
What I would like to do is split it up so I have 3 partitions that are available for different Linux installs as close to being equal as possible plus my swap. I was hoping to have each install co ...

usb device names (/dev/sdx)


I'm not having a problem, I'm just hoping someone can enlighten me as to how the drive ids (paths?) are assigned to usb devices.
And by extension, where to look to determine the particular path to a particular usb device.

Here's the crux of my dilemma. I have an external drive that the majority of the time when I plug it in is assigned to /dev/sdb.
