The same, except of course for where they are different.  

Which is listed clearly with a description of the changes made at this
link: <this space left intentionally blank since there is no such
simple list>.

Wouldn't that be a handy list to have?

According to 
#yum list available | grep -i centos > something.txt
#yum list installed | grep -i centos >> something.txt

The following 48 packages are edited in some way - probably mostly for
trademark purposes and/or for the package that did not rebuild from
the SRPM with the same behavior as the RHEL binaries.  Some are
changed to give a more "CentOS" feel to the distribution (e.g.
changing pre-installed links in the browsers) and some are changed for
"ease of use" and due to love of CaCert.

I have the base, update, addons, extras enabled in my
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo which I believe is the way that the
CentOS yum is configured by default.
