Hey Guys
Over the past 6 months I've installed and complied that many RPM,s and Taz.Gz's I've lost track of what is on my HDD.
Is there a program that can search for all installed programs, and any files that have been not unistalled when programs are uninstalled?
(Like RegCleaner 4.3 for windows?)
Thanks Guys

The simplistic and quick answer is NO.
Since Linux doesn't use any central file
to store it's configuration there's no such
thing to be cleaned.
As for un-installing. If you use RPM to
remove a package it should be clever enough
to remove it completely. If you use tarballs,
you need to remove stuff yourself, either
using "make uninstall" (provided you still
have the source directory). For future use
I recommend using
checkinstall ...
