and I haven't had much problems over the years. I would like to hear the 
reasons why some people don't like it as it proves to be a very reliable 
OS manager (for Linux). Of course you have to become accustomed to its 
interface etc. but it was the first system manager with a browser 
interface and about customization:why do you think I use Xubuntu?!
I don't like answers like "in Ubuntu is the package was not maintained 
in Debian and the Debian Developer who had been maintaining it requested 
its removal a few years ago". I'm a scientist Retired) and nonsense 
answers annoy me immensely.
It is a pity as I am sure many users would be helped very much by this 
package. Of course I can get it from the Webmin site > 
http://www.webmin.com/
where you even can download a Debian package but I think it is an 
oversight it is not in the Ubuntu repositories.
