I am going to start a Linux/Free BSD server just to gain more experience on server control. Unforchunately, for this price I don't really see myself buying a Plesk or Cpanel liscence.

What is THE BEST Open Source Control Panel available today?

Thanks.

I was looking at:

I'd have to say web-cp... it's pretty slick. :)

I'll have to be giving that a try on my test server :-)

Thanks

webmin is pretty nice too, while it is not as flasy as some it is extremely stable and a very mature software

Hmm looks good, but basic. Are there any other control panels with more features?

Email features, image tools, scripts, but I guess that's part of what you pay for with the lisenced panels.

Hello,

You can try our web hosting control panel here (http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc.html).

It's open source, works very well under Debian, and an old version is available in /usr/ports/sysutils/dtc if you use FreeBSD 5.3.

Are you willing to help in the development? We need brains to update the FreeBSD tree!!!

I don't know much about Free BSD, but I guess I could give it a shot.

http://vhcs.net looks really nice. However they don't appear to support BSD yet:

I didn't know DA was open source, is it?

No, DirectAdmin is not open source... it costs around 20-29$ a month depending on your provider.

Blue quartz didn't look nearly as good at the previous suggestions, the demo of the interface did not impress me, neither did what it had to offer.
