I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my pc and I have some questions which I will like you answer me:
how can I know what of my devices are installed?
or I can find the Device Manager?

Hello and welcome to the forums!

You can get some information about devices and modules being loaded with the following commands when run from a terminal:

lspci
lsusb
lsmod
dmidecode

Check the manual pages for each command for more info on running them using the various options and switches available:

example: man lspci
