I have just been using Ubuntu 14.04 for a few days...

Could anybody tell me whether:

If User A logs into the computer and installs an application, will then user B who logs into the same computer, be able to use the application User A installed???

If using a standard installation procedure then yes, User B will be able to use the software installed by User A.

There are however utilities that once installed locally will only work locally. (E.G. simple utilities installed in /home/user/bin)
