List explicitly installed packages / Equivalent of Gentoo world file?

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello Fedora people :) I'm a Gentoo user looking to learn more about Fedora. Question: Can Fedora show you a list of packages that have been explicitly installed on the system? Such a list would not include packages that have been installed as dependencies of other packages. In Gentoo, you can do this simply by taking a look at your /var/lib/portage/world file. (In a .deb based distro you can use aptitude search '~i !~M') Here's a small snippet of mine, as an example.
