Re: software installed

In Redhat and Fedora use:

rpm -qa | grep <.PackageName.>
PackageName - Name of the rpm used to install the software package.. No need for full name but a few characters from start or anywhere from rpm name.

ie. To check gnome-system-monitor-2.14.1-1.fc5.1

rpm -qa | grep gnome
rpm -qa | grep system-monitor
