rpm -qa will give you a complete listing of all the rpm packages installed
on your system. If you're unsure as to wheater a particular pakage is
installed you can do "whereis <program>" and it will return the
programs full path. For libs and such, the "locate" command does well.
[nathan@fatboy nathan]$ whereis evolution
evolution: /usr/bin/evolution /usr/lib/evolution /usr/share/evolution
[nathan@fatboy nathan]$ locate libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6
[nathan@fatboy nathan]$
There's also probably a GUI package manager installed as well. Try
gnorpm, or run control-panel.
