VISH VISHVANATH I have been using Webmin for about three years + to administrate Linux & BSD boxes, and have also installed it on my OS X laptop to have a system-level admin tool. Webmin is a friendly wrapper around the core configuration of a UNIX system, TP services and daemons. It's very extendible with modules available for many functions and applications. VirtualMin is a fantastic example and brilliant for anyone who needs to run multiple hosts on a single box. Webmin doesn't replace the need for understanding how a UNIX box works or is configured. If used by someone in this way, it can end in tears (I speak from experience). It's also an excellent way of granting certain administrative privileges to people without also giving them access to the box. If you don't understand UNIX, this may help you learn. If you don't care about understanding UNIX, I suggest you stay away from Webmin. It's too powerful for you. (Version 1.210) |
