Unfortunately there's nothing similar to smitty or sam in Linux.
I don't know if linuxconf needs X but YaST in SuSE sort of works in text mode. Nothing comes close to smitty though.

Also, as I recall Redhat officially stopped using linuxconf in 7.0. I'm not sure the program still works for redhat. They give a whole bunch of other gui tools for you to use instead, and a couple of them have tui versions also. Oh, and as far as I know you do not need x installed to use linuxconf; it's a text based interface.
