Redhat packages...too many!

I did an install of Redhat a while back and I'm relatively unlearned when it comes to Linux. Anyway, I installed a whole load of packages because I didn't know what I would need/want. Now I am looking at the packages I have installed through Ximian Red Carpet and even though it gives me a description of what the packages do, I don't know what have the stuff is still. Is there anywhere I can look to get detailed descriptions of different packages? Or can anyone tell me which packages they like to install? I can't imagine using all the different editors, or development tools.
 
To see what a partitcular package does:

rpm -qpi <rpm package name>

The gui package managers ussually show you this information also.

The package list is pretty overwhelming at first, but you eventually figure out what you need and use on your system.
