GUI server tools?

[Michael Dean]

Webmin is a server side GUI for changing anything on your computer.  It 
has a usermin for specific areas as well.  I have used it for two years 
to do admin types of things long distance from my windows desktop under 
https (openssl) to my server running under dsl connectivity. Works 
great.  Only fault -- while it is in the lamppp model, it avails itself 
of a java file manager for read,write, modify, etc.  This is a very 
mature product distroed under the nice BSD licenses, which says you can 
do anything you want to the code.  I believe redhat is using it for 
their admin stuff, and like red hat always does, they fail to give 
credit where credit is due.  In fact, they have been caught stealing BSD 
code and GPLing it.
