I did talk about a review in Linux Format with some members in the devel channel, it had the same complain: No central configuration tool. They all said that System > Preferences is good enough. Well, it doesn't really matter for me if there is a central configuration tool or not, and I'm sure it doesn't to any of you, but it does for Linux new commers, they might not like to delve in menus and try each and every option to see what it does, they probably just want to configure their systems. Look at Kubuntu (which I, honestly, would advise to any Linux new commer) it has a configuration tool, they even removed kcontrol from KDE menu (which I don't think is a good thing), but the idea is that they do, you can configure wine from there (mentioning wine, I installed it today, and it messed my root filesystem, Fedora didn't boot, it tried to run fsck but it failed, I got the resque prompt, I had to run fsck manually and answer questions that would just freak new comers out (though, all the answers were yes :P)). All distros have the System > Preferences menu, yet, they have a central configuration menu, if that is what users want, why don't we give it to them? We can make it a package by itself so that those who don't want it can remove it! I really don't see the point, we want more people to use Fedora, yet, we're not giving them what they want/are asking for, after all, the customer (user) is always right!
