Is there a link which will give me the list of RPM packages available for Red hat Linux? and how do I pick up which RPM package for what purpose?
I need some BARCODE fonts to be installed on Linux server (Code 128, Code 39 fonts). I need these fonts to be picked by the application reports which will print the barcode for me on the report.

The yum list command will provide you a list of all available packages, and yum search will let you search for packages. yum list installed will show you all the packages currently installed on your system.
For example:
yum search font

The yum info command can give you information about a package. For example:
$ yum info openssh

I don't believe there are any barcode fonts packaged in Red Hat Linux. However, you can simply download appropriate fonts from elsewhere and install them yourself. There are instructions for installing fonts here.
