Depends on what you mean by "GUI"

Simple GUI to edit/view Asterisk's config :

- phpconfig : available from digium's CVS,  instructions to install
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+gui+phpconfig.
Let you configure Asterisk thru a browser

- AsWeAdTo (Asterisk Web Admin Tool) : similar to phpconfig, I coded
this before I knew phpconfig :
http://www.marccharbonneau.com/asterisk/asweadto_v_0_0_2.tar
  advantage over phpconfig is that you can reload SIP/extensions/all 
and it let you restart asterisk (phpconfig only let you do a reload)

More advanced GUI to edit/view Asterisk's config :

- AMP (Asterisk Management Portal) :  http://amp.coalescentsystems.ca/
 Comes pre-installed with Asterisk at home, easy to setup things in it,
but some peoples will tell you that it gets in the way when you want
to make more complicated stuff.

Other :

- Flash Operator Panel : http://www.asternic.org/   Comes
pre-installed with Asterisk at home. This is a must for any asterisk
install, I think. Go check the demo on the site

I must be forgetting something, I just woke up and didn't finish my
first coffee yet. But I'm confident somebody else will fill in the gap
;)
