Regarding firewalls and configuration you are probably referring to the new firewalld we're introducing in Fedora 15: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD/ It's still work in progress, so the basic service is there now and working, but as mentioned there in the long run the idea is to simplify the use of common firewall configurations, e.g. home, work, public. Currently the basic framework is there, meaning the initial version of the service itself together with the necessary command line tools. In the next Fedora releases we plan to extend that according to the roadmap we have put in that wiki. If you're looking for an easy-to-use tool to configure your firewall we've had system-config-firewall for a long time and it's very well maintained, so give that a shot, it might be what you were looking for.
