What Software is Installed on my Linux Dedicated Server?

Last Updated: June 25, 2007 11:26 AM

The contents of your dedicated Linux server depends on what kind of Linux distribution you are using: CentOS 4, Fedora Core 2, Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 6, or Red Hat Enterprise 4. Below is an overview of the packages deployed with your server, prior to optional control panel installation. Control panels such as cPanel, Simple Control Panel and Plesk will alter the packages deployed. All servers are deployed with yum and any vendor supplied package may be added to your system by typing:

yum install packagename

where packagename is the name of the package you would like to install.

The Linux rpm command can be used to list the packages that exist on your Linux dedicated server. Its syntax is the following:

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{GROUP} %{NAME}-%{VERSION}\n" | sort
