Webmin is a great too, if you are unsure on how to install it, telnet/ssh
in to your server, su to root, and then to get a complete listing of all
rpms on your system you can do the following command:

rpm -qa > installedrpms.txt

Then you can pico the installedrpms.txt file and look at all of the
installed rpms.

Any that you may have questions about you can do a:

rpm -qi questionable.rpm

This will give you a print out of the rpm and other information installed.

To list all files associated

I believe you do rpm --provides questionable.rpm

If that is not right do a rpm ?  and that will tell you what to do.
