There's a version of linuxconf undergoing testing for Debian in potato right now.
What's RedHat got that's better than dselect? I haven't seen any decent tools for RPM's that provide: 1. Integration with an outside program to download all necessary files from a package mirror. 2. Listings of available packages in resonable groupings. #2 might be covered by some of the newer graphical RPM installers they've shipped on the 6.0/6.1 series, but they still don't have #1 working right. rpmfind is a really crappy piece of software IMHO.
