Well there is the Gnome Services app system-config-services and that
provides a list of the services as well as a summary of a service you
select (not all of them have summaries, and some that do are rather
cryptic, but that's a different matter). If you want a text ui to this,
then I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult.
