I’d heard of Webmin before, but never used it — but I guess that’s because I haven’t really been in a situation yet where Webmin would really be helpful for me. The only websites I currently manage (which aren’t related to my job) are on shared hosts with cPanel.
Good to hear the recommendation, though.
