Network Configuration is the standard gui-setup tool. In KDE I find it under "Administration". Also, you'll want to look for 'services' in your menu, which will edit the deamons that you may wish to run or not have running. Check 'view' and select "ALL runlevels" so you can have httpd running in level 3 and 5. Stuff like that. Enjoy!! I think you'll like it here, this place is the schnitzel.
