20 I've dabbled with webmin and it does seem fairly stable at what it does.
21 I got shorewall and logrotate up fairly quickly using it; it also let
22 me get a cronjob up really quick without manually mucking around. Lately
23 though I have been editing everything manually with vim rather than
24 using webmin.I'd give it a try and see if you like it.
