I'm with Brian. I've been using Linux for a long time and there are times I use the command line to adminster things and sometimes I just want the simplicity of a GUI. Virtualmin/Webmin have come a long ways and provide most of what I want in a GUI. A complaint voiced by the uninformed Ubuntu crowd (don't mention webmin on IRC) is that it puts files in a non-standard place. That was true in the beginning, but now it follows the normal conventions of Ubuntu.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I'll toss in my +1 for Webmin. It's very handy for setting up cron jobs,<br>
firewall rules, etc. when you can't be arsed to memorize syntax you don't<br>
often use. The service configuration tools will generally give you easy<br>
access to most options, and can usually read and preserve any custom<br>
settings you have in place.<br>
<br>
It's definitely not a tool to give to untrusted end users, but it's great<br>
for admins. I've used it for many years on many servers and it's been good<br>
to me - and I've watched it getting better as it's been polished over the<br>
years.<br>
