Ubuntu config tools?

[Paul Hendrick]

Hi there,
from all the screens i've seen of your new distro, i don't see any
configuration tools present, apart from those that come with gnome. are
there any plans to port existing ones from other distros? yast or
redhat-config-* tools, for example?

without these, there's nothing ubuntu offers us that fedora and suse
don't. 

i'm not subscribed to ubuntu-devel, so could any reply be cc'd to my
email address please? 
thanks!
