cool! Webmin and virtualmin have always impressed me. I haven't watched their stuff in a while. Cloudmin looks very impressive. The pro version is dirt cheap compared to other management tools for a fee. <br><br>Many thanks for the heads up!<br>

Cloudmin (GPL or Pro versions) is an option potentially which can run on top (as an overlay) of KVM, Xen, Solaris Zones, and connect to Amazon AWS.<br>
<br>
The current only down side (minor too) is management of existing KVM virtual machines made via virsh versus made under Cloumin. The original virsh ones will not be able to run with all of the Cloudmin options and capabilities (e.g., resize VM HDD sizes, alter resources on the fly). However for a central and web UI management point, it is that. It can access the virtual machines via SSH, VNC, and/or Webmin/Virtualmin (if installed) as well.<br>
