Webmin (www.webmin.com) seems to be an awfully easy way to administer a server, including Apache and Sendmail, but I'm not sure what risks I'm taking by using it.

Does anyone know more?

i have been using webmin for the last 6 months with no problems at rackspace.com and it's very easy to use :D

due to hardware upgrade costs i have moved to a server at ultraspeedusa.com and a raq3 at 4webspace.com (that tells you how expensive things can get at rackspace :eek: )

Webmin is a very good program and as far as security is very good.

Technically its prob possible but I would strongly advise against it, why would you want to anyway, you by a cobalt for its preloaded control panel

You can use it, with some minor modifications/hacks(I'm told).

However, as Cobalt RaQ's do come pre-loaded with their own control panel software, it would be advised to use this rather then webmin(Not to mention, the cobalt software looks nifty, so why not? :))
