For example I don't use webmin, because I like to learn about the services and stuff in a direct manner. I like to see how things work and how I can fix it. I hear some of my friends use Webmin when they need to make fast and simple installations. I installed once and don't like it. but it depends on the person. I really can't imagine what can a guy that used Webmin all the time can do if the server came with some serious trouble, if the hole process is not known to him. of course a combination of both will be nice. Do not go to the extremes, use it or not, it depends on the situation in conclusion wanna learn, don't use it. want some simplicity, use it.

Hello all. I'd like to hear your comments on this. Today a new guy in the Tech area commented during the coffee break about that in his last job he administered all the ISP services using Webmin without any problems. Another guy, a purist one, says that Webmin has LOT of problems and that to run all the services here you have to know the "deepest side" of them and forget about Webmin. I have been playing for a while with Webmin on non production machines with success but I'm a newbie. I feel that if you configure simple things, Webmin is a nice tool and can help you to solve simple problems. What do you guys think about this ? Thanks in advance for all your comments.
