Here is one example which compares concepts and commands
Windows and UNIX comparison although it's more a DOS and UNIX as far as commands.

You have to realize UNIX is more a command line interface - sure, there are GUI's but most of the Sys Admins I know use GUI only 20% of the time. Shell scripts are written for anything that is done over and over. I've never used Solaris File Manager except to mount up a floppy disc - and then I go to command line to work with it.

You will probably find it easier if you start from scratch instead of trying to compare what GUI works. If you can't do command line, how are you going to fix a system that is broken and only goes into single-user mode? You don't usually get a GUI in single-user with UNIX.

AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)

NAME

       authconfig-gtk, system-config-authentication - GUI utility for configuring user identity and system authentication services

SYNOPSIS

       authconfig-gtk [--nox] [--updateall] [--firstboot]

DESCRIPTION

       authconfig-gtk  provides  a  simple graphical user interface for configuring user identity and system authentication services.  It provides
       basic configuration options to handle NIS, LDAP, Kerberos 5, and Winbind client configuration.

OPTIONS

       If the --nox option is specified, authconfig command line utility is run instead of the GUI.

       The --updateall option forces overwriting of all configuration files not only the files affected by the changes made in the  user  interac-
       tion with the GUI.  This option can be useful in case the configuration files are broken by manual editing.

       The --firstboot option is to be used only when firstboot utility runs the GUI during the first setup of the system after installation.

RETURN CODES

       authconfig-gtk returns 0 on success, non zero on error.
