There are tools available called SWAT and Webmin. Webmin typically is available with RH 9.0 and is a basic do-it-all generalists config GUI that supplements the software management and services control in RH. SWAT some like better more specifically for Samba, but most config it in the console.
Trying to go to
https://127.0.0.1:10000/ in a browser or Konqueror should get you webmin's login and you login as root with root password.
I would also recommend getting the docs iso or just the pdf files set for RH 9.0. They fill 2 3" notebooks here. A lot of what they cover also helps with Mandrake.
http://rpmfind.net/
and
http://www.google.com/linux/
will also be helpful for finding things.
Good Luck
