Software list

[Fred]

Does anyone know of a command in Red Hat based Linux distros that lists software with a version number in a user friendly format?
I am aware that I can use

rpm -qa

But the output is like

bind-libs-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2

And I would like it to output more like Debian's method of:

dpkg -l

Which shows up as:

ii  python-telepathy       0.15.11-1     Python language bindings for telepathy

Any help would be appreciated!

I actually found a way myself... You can use yum as so:

yum list installed

And the output looks like:

zsh.i386          4.2.6-3.el5         installed
