Ok, here we go - I'm in need of free control panel for LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) server. Webmin is ok. for system administration, installing rpm's etc., but it's not usable in terms of "hosting control panel".
There are many free control panels avaiable for *nix systems. Most of them are listed at http://freshmeat.net, some of them was discussed here. I also found small website with reviews of some of them - http://www.kamsel.net (looks like, that this guy play with all of them). But it's not enough - I would like to hear something from this (free) cpanels (lol) users... So I ask you: write a brief description of your free control panel, pros, cons etc. - so your opinion can help someone to decide which one to choose. I would like to start, but I don't have any control panel currently installed (however I'm going to test Virtuamin and Zpanel) :(
I count on you ;) Thanks for the support.

P.S. If you run hosting company and use one of the free c-panels, please post your url!

I used ZPanel for windows. The worst piece of script ever to be available on the internet! If I had to rate it on a scale of 0-5, I would give it a minus 1. It was so bad I deleted it!
I have used Webmin, it is good. Not great, good.

There is a much amount of data on this. Try a search. My standard reply use Webmin, Virtualmin,Usermin should do the trick for Linux Controlpanel. Actually how bad is zpanel? I was thinking of trying for the Windows. Can share your experience with us?

Zpanel is not really bad ..

It just isnt really suited for a Commercial application.

If you were to offer free hosting for friends and Neighbors, it works great .

for more info just send me pm

MikeM, you actuly got ZPanel to work? This is my third installation and it seems to work ok but the control panel is poor. How did you get it to work? Please PM me!

What type of features would you like coded into ZPanel to provide you with more of a commercial feel? Also, if you need installation help, please visit the forums. Remember to create your database first, this is a common mistake. thezpanel.com
