The usual Unix way:
$ rpm -qa > list_of_packages.txt
and you can then review "list_of_packages.txt" as you see fit.
If it's a Debian-based system, you can use "dpkg" to obtain similar
info:
$ dpkg --get-selections > list_of_packages.txt
which will include all installed and installed-but-then-uninstalled
packages. If you only want the currently-installed packages, you
can use
$ dpg --get-selections | awk '$NF == "install"{print $1}' > list_of_packages.txt
-tim
