You can view the changes made on a certain date by running: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep 2010-11-05 (replace 2010-11-05 with the date you are querying.) user931 2010-11-06T06:41:31+08:002010-11-06T06:41:31+08:00 I believe you can see a log of what and when packages have been installed, upgraded and removed using the Ubuntu Software Centre.
