True that apt-get is pretty easy. But we have webmin on all our machines, and the source is one way to make sure you have the latest version, I know they have had a few security updates in the last couple of months. Plus the installer is very user-friendly. But the best is you actually get to do a real source install from scratch :))) As for the original post on an alternate cpanel or plesk tool, webmin will fall short on the ease of use by the novice web hosting client, though I think there are some ISP modules out, haven't seen one yet that offers the scope that plesk or cpanel do. We find the Raq/Cobalt GUI is one of the better ones for letting a non-tech try and manage email accounts and such. My last 2 ¢ -- Thanks!!
