I use pacman -Q

but that only list programs installed by pacman.

You could check the Wiki for more information

or the man page.

Re: [SOLVED] How can I find out wich programs I have installed

I'll add http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ for its superior "discoverability" (html interface).

Let's say you want to check what that 'firefox' thing is:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/firefox/
Description:      Standalone web browser from mozilla.org
Dependencies (2)
    * desktop-file-utils
    * xulrunner =1.9.2.4

Cool. But what is 'xulrunner'? Click and you'll know :-)

Re: [SOLVED] How can I find out wich programs I have installed

If you really want a list of all programs installed, how about this tongue:

ls ${PATH//:/ }

"You can watch for your administrator to install the latest kernel with watch uname -r" - From the watch man page

@ PirateJonno
Is it winter in NZ? If so you can spend those long, dark, lonely afternoons, when your car gets snowed under etc. in a productive way by wrapping it like this:

for app in $(ls ${PATH//:/ }); do
    man $app
done

:-D
