yum
yum how to has some yum basics. yum is a software installation tool for Red Hat Enterprise Linux & Fedora Linux.
package-cleanup, a yum utility
yum basics
List
List all installed packages:
# yum list installed
List might be large you can pipe to scroll through list:
# yum list installed | more # yum list installed | less
You may also redirect output to file:
# yum list installed > /tmp/yum-installed
List certain packages:

RPM
RPM basics
RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, and the like. There is also a library API, permitting advanced developers to manage such transactions from programming languages such as C or Python.

Usage: rpm [OPTION...]
