<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been playing around quite a bit
with the Ubuntu LAMP 6.06 server since it was last released and have explored
the GUI side quite extensively. Aside from the commercial products
such as cPanel, Ensim and Plesk, the open source packages such as Webmin,
SysCP, Web-cp, VHCS and EZAdmin are all very good. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However, it might be good to point out
if the GUI will be used for specific application set-ups. For example,
the Ubuntu LAMP install scenario calls for a web hosting or application
hosting set of packages. Packages such as ISPConfig is good for this
type of environment. Are we adding the GUI for Sysadmins on a LAN
or for WAN-based enterprise applications...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Another thing I've noticed is that Ubuntu
support has not been very strong with these packages, and the Debian packages
are often touch and go when installed in an Ubuntu release. I've
had to move a recent project into a CentOS platform in order to get the
proper packages operating properly. There is definitely a need to
work more closely with the development groups in these communities.</font>
