Subject: [Hampshire] RPM Query

Hi all,

How do I search the RPM repository in RedHat Enterprise? In Gentoo,
I'm used to doing "emerge -s <keyword>", which will find me packages
matching the keyword. I don't know the name of the packages - all the
query options I can see seem to require the name of the package or a
file it has installed - I want to find the name of the packages so
that I can install them.

I have tried Googling, but all I seem to find are sites like rpmfind.

I also only have command line access, so if there are snazzy graphical
tools that won't help.

Thanks.
