For SuSE, it's yast (as root). Yast is also used by a couple of other minor distros, like Yoper. Yast can beused as well for installing RPM's while resolving package dependencies (in fact: a tool like yast, or urpmi on Mandrake MUST be used when installing RPM packages, else you may end up to the ever famous "RPM hell" situation).
Other distros have their own control center, and there is also webmin (GUI control center accessed via your browser at localhost) which is pretty much universal.
