I remember using it in older versions of RedHat. Somethings didn't seem to work quite right all the time then, and IIRC, things weren't getting any better. RedHat threw up its hands and abandoned it, and AFAIK, that was pretty much the final nail in the coffin. Not many others would touch it w/ a ten-foot pole given the choice. Me, I hated the way it walked all over system configuration files (at least in RedHat). I've never really heard anything bad about Webmin, other than some people less than satisfied w/ the web access security? I guess if you are in a situation where security is that high of a priority, use ssh or physically sit in front of the console, which ever suits your needs. But I've always wondered why none of the main linux distros really made a push to use Webmin, instead of developing similarly in-house tools. I think Mandrake included it at least, but pushed their 'Drake' tools, and I guess Caldera did use it for a while (do they still?), but Caldera has been IMO a fringe player for a long time now.
