Several. The gnome utility for keyboard can map Capslock to Control
(as god/Sun intended). Or I use the following:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap - <<EOF
!
! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
!
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete
EOF
