Fedora Core 5 command center?


I am wondering if Fedora has a command center similar to the one found in Mandriva or SuSE (YaST), that can do everything from my setting up my scanner to selecting the screen resolution.

The short answer is: no

The best answer though is that the Fedora/Redhat approach is to use the menuing system of the desktop environment. For instance using the default Gnome installation you would click on 'System' -> 'Administration' and there are all the individual programs that are used to perform the various functions needed to configure the system. This in my option provides greater flexibility if you choose a different environment or window manager. This also does not break the use of the Control Panel in KDE.

IMHO, after having administered SuSE boxes of various versions and point versions, I find that this system is much simpler. I have changed distros to Fedora because of the ease of use and it is now my primary workstation/server os and I did not have to configure/setup my scanner. It just worked 'out of the box'. This doesn't mean that you will never have to resort to the CLI to configure something. I still manually configure apache, squid, nagios, etc. and I also utilize Webmin for various administrative duties no matter what the distro.
