Any progress/comments/questions?

BTW if you are configuring a new server, I highly recommend Webmin:
http://www.webmin.com/
I've been using it on the new LAMP server that I'm testing & I have to
say that so far I'm quite impressed. It's made working with this thing
considerably easier :-) As an example, I installed kubuntu on the same
system in order to help somone having problems with (U)OOo; afterwards I
cleaned kubuntu out of the system
(http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome). That blew out the mySQL
sever et al, but it was simple enough to add them back in via Webmin &
they are all working again just fine.

Note: my test server is in a local lan/intranet behind a hardware
firewall & no, I've not yet dug into the security aspects/issues of
using Webmin. That said, I'd appreciate comments/suggestion from others
regarding Webmin.
