If you simply type -ado- then you get a list of user-written packages installed by -net- (which includes those installed using -ssc-) - as far as I can tell it lists everything apart from what you've got in your personal ado directory.

-ado describe- is the same but also gives the distribution date and installation date for each package, which may be important for version control (as Richard pointed out).
