Windows control panel is something we are all familiar with in Windows operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista & now Winfows 7. Unfortunately you may not have found a direct equivalent of Windows Control Panel which works in Linux systems like RHEL, Cent OS, Fedora, Ubuntu etc. Despair no more for the solution is here.

Run:

gnome-control-center

The command will work for all Linux variant with Gnome desktop manager. Gnome is the most popular Linux window manager today and if you are using Linux you are most likely using it even without knowing about it.

gnome-control-center is very feature rich, above and beyond what you can currently do in Windows Control Panel. All of its commands are independently accessible from command line / UI too.

What is the Windows control center equivalent for KDE?

As soon as I read the title of this post I thought of Gnome Control Center and you didnt mention anything new. :-)
Have you ever booted into Ubuntu?
