The Mandriva Linux Control Center (MCC) enables the system administrator to configure the hardware and the services used by all users in a friendly way.

Access the Mandriva Linux Control Center through the main menu (System+Configuration → Configure Your Computer).

Figura 12.1. The Control Center's Main Window

Here are some of the available menu entries:

Options → Display Logs. When activated this option displays a Tools Logs window. It shows all system modifications made by the configuration tools launched from within the Mandriva Linux Control Center.
Options → Expert mode. Gives you access to some of the more advanced tools, which are marked in the table below.
Profiles. This menu gives you access to the configuration profiles features. We cover this topic in Seção 2, “Managing Configuration Profiles”.
Help → Help. Opens the help browser which displays documentation about the active configuration tool.
Help → Report Bug. Allows you to report a bug to the development team. See Seção 3, “The Drakbug Reporting Tool”.

The tools are sorted into categories. The following table lists them all and refers to the corresponding sections of this manual.

	Nota
Additionally, the Online Administration category only appears if the rfbdrake package is installed. This tool allows you to take control of a remote host (Linux/UNIX^®, Windows^®). Some more categories appear if the drakwizard package is installed. The documentation for those wizards is available ondisk as well as in the Guia do Servidor. Those wizards enable you to do basic configuration of common LAN services such as web, FTP, mail and database servers.
