Webmin...

    I have always wanted to use it. Seems powerful and it's FREE! So this week I setup 2 servers for it and so far I love it. Nothing beats FREE. I wanted to know who here has webmin or uses it. Any comments about it? I run FreeBSD 5.4.

    For those who do not know what Webmin is:
    http://www.webmin.com

    Basically it's like Cpanel on crack. It's got so much more server control. You can install lots of things on your server and webmin is the controller for it. I do believe you really need SSH skillz in order to use it since it seems that webmin doesn't really install anything (some Perl modules you can from the CP). I prefer a command prompt anyways.

    Been using Webmin for about 2 years now, and I'm still loving it!

    I did not like the original theme, and changed it to the XP-style theme from Viktor Janoschka.

    You can download a lot of thems for webmin @ http://webadminmodules.sourceforge.net/?page=Themes
