If the server is running an RPM-based distribution, then rpm -qa, but it
will likely print out a list of thousands of packages (if I run that
command, then I'm usually looking for something specific and pipe the
output through grep).

Thanks for these details.
For the sake of further exploration, is there a Linux command that will share
all the packages currently in use on a server?
I have entirely too many things I do professionally with my email, including
filtering items into folders to use anything like fastmail.
I do currently ssh into other shells as I said, but must visit shellworld
first to do this much.
Still, if creating shellworld 2 might be possible even on a dedicated
machine, it might be worth exploring.
I have 54 gig of data in my main shellworld account alone, 6 gig for my
personal website..cannot imagine another shared hosting service giving me
that kind of room, but might be wrong.

Well Karen-and-All, Many of you are quite familliar with my road. I came
kicking-and-screaming from DOS2windows, slowly in 2003 Linux, but with
horrible DeC PC drivers in Speakup. Eventually in 2006 got rid of windows
all2gether. All along since 1995 I had Unix shell-accounts, Netcom, REXX,
PrimeNet, and Shellworld, where I hosted my web-site as well. In May of
2020 we almost lost Shellworld forever, so after at least 3 days of no
e-mail, with a big help of a dear friend, I switched my domain to
Fastmail. Unfortunately their interface does not work in a console setup
nor without javascript. After awhile they blocked traditional ftp access.
I found ncftp as an easiest client, but now must use web-dav which has
many fewer options. As far as your exact question, as you see I am not
hosting my web-site nor e-mail locally, however, we use exim4 to grab mail
from FastMail to my local machine. In addition, I have a laptop also
running Debian SID with a quite new Zabbly kernel. The laptop has
graphical so I can login to hotels when we travel. Eventually would like
to put graphical on my main machine so I can go to Zoom meetings. Wish
there were either a menu-driven or commandline Zoom client. Along the way,
while I've been in Linux nearly 21years, I almost still feel like a
beginner, but still sometimes when I atten a Linux LUG, I can still help
some1 else. Also, certainly folks there are still somewhat baffled how I
use a computer while totally blind.
I also have a MAC which I know little about, but took a class. I have a
Chromebook, but the Chromevox screen-reaeer is much less easty to use than
something like Speakup. I hope those details will provide some
prospective.
