Ubuntu lacks graphical setup tool (like Mandriva's DrakXConf or OpenSUSE's YaST ) . This tool could configure with "User-Friendly" all the system.

Why don't you take a look at gnome-control-center. I don't know if I installed that on purpose, but it sure looks like YaST etc.

Isn't that what the "System" menu provides? Monolithic config apps are a thing of the past.

We REALLY need something like this for Ubuntu. I mean, not the Yast2 itself for installing software (synaptic is way much better than it), but is the control center that is really worth the use.
Something to configure samba shares, nfs, dns servers, etc etc.. would be absolutly awesome to have on ubuntu. People are really (and i mean, REALLY) tired to configure e-mail servers, and all that stuff touching large and annoying text files.
Having such a nice GUI for that is a must nowadays. I'm sure, lots of people that is actually using suse will switch to Ubuntu. At least, the people that i know, the people who we use to have long chats about ubuntu/suse will switch automatically to ubuntu. At last, they only have the "yast" reason to stay, all of them.
I also don't see any problem porting yast to ubuntu, only if its maintained. Programming such a tool from scratch is too much. But ubuntu lacks of it.
I want to be a pain about this, repeating. Apart from the eyecandy, and the easy on installing software, security and support, having a nice control panel will put a lot of more users on ubuntu from windows, sure on this.
thanks.
