I am looking for an online list of the standard packages available for CentOS Linux.

I know that if I had a CentOs system running, I could use yum to list packages. However, I am trying to evaluate what roadblocks we will run into, when we switch our webservers from Ubuntu to CentOS, and I don't yet have a CentOS setup.

I've searched and searched, but all I can find are explanations of how to manage packages once you actually have a CentOS system setup. Any website recommendations would be appreciated.

I started with this, which got me a list of CentOS mirrors, and then picked the first mirror, and then navigated to the list of packages for CentOS 6.
