how can i find C,C++ programme in ubuntu?

If the programs are not in the menu you might try searching in:

/usr/bin for the binaries (executables).
/usr/lib for the libraries.
/usr/share for the resource file.
/usr/man for man pages.
/usr/doc for the documentation.

Regarads,

try going up to the top taskbar and click on

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and into the terminal/command window/console start typing the name of one of those C/C++ programs but as you type keep tapping on the "Tab" key. A single tab acts a bit like "predictive texting" on a mobile phone, but a bit more intelligently - a lot of mobile phones run off very tiny specialist versions of linux ;) A double-'click' on the tab key shows a list of all the options that are available from what you've typed so far. So using the tab key should help you complete the name of the command you've installed, or complete a long pathname and is generally quite hlpful.

If you're entering a command in the terminal console then try typing " -h" or " --help" after the command to get a quick "cheat sheet" on how to use the command. This can also help if you're not quite sure what a command does and don't really want to run it without finding out. Try typing

totem -h

and then try

totem

to see what happens :)

I hope this helps!
Good luck and regards from

Hi

It is fine to ask a lot of different questions all at the same time. As long as you keep questions into a separate thread for each topic there's no problem :)

For help with SLED please feel free to navigate to their user forums from this page

Before installing any distro on a machine please try it's LiveCd session to see how that looks as a demo. Some distros don't have it but Ubuntu's is fairly easy to get to. Just place the Ubuntu cd in your cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine. This should get you to a menu with an option "Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine", if not then this guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
Choosing the option "Try Ubuntu ..." should get you to a working desktop which we call a "LiveCd session" and firefox there should let you surf right into here

Good luck with this!
