| Hi,
|
| I think Alan is more correct. It was removed simply as the maintainer
| had no time for it, and no-one else has stepped up to maintain it.
|
| It certainly does have the reputation of being bad in Debian and Ubuntu
| though, perhaps with reason.
|
| When the server team was quite recently looking for something like
| webmin to provide, one of the developers spent some time looking for
| evidence to back this claim up. They couldn't find anything. If you
| know of any then please could you pass it on to me so I can forward it?
| I imagine they would like to have evidence of why they are using
| ebox instead of webmin.
|
| Thanks,
|
| James
