I don't really know what this means!
Presumably you mean a Server install?
The current webmin is available here:
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.270.tar.gz

Download this file and then issue the following commands:

[root at yourhost /tmp]# gunzip webmin-1.270.tar.gz 
[root at yourhost /tmp]# tar xf webmin-1.270.tar 
[root at yourhost /tmp]# cd webmin-1.270 
[root at yourhost /tmp/webmin-1.270]# ./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin 

Answer the questions - I think it autodetects Ubuntu - if it fails to
install, it should; hopefully, tell you what is missing.
What might be missing from your setup is perl, if so issue this first:

[root at yourhost /tmp]# aptitude install perl

Hope this helps,
