Zervex's DSM Free Control Panel
Hi,
Who among you have installed Zervex's Dedicated Server Manager Online Control Panel (Free)? We just installed for a client and I think this is pretty damn good for a free control panel! I really don't know about some other functionalities, coz I haven't explored it yet... just checked the installation and it is excellent. It is installing the basic services, unlike other free control panel which are just "gui" and you still need to install the services manually...
What do you think? Their website is http://www.zervex.com
I know this control panel is quite old, and haven't tried it really before.
Regards,

Zervex is not bad actually. Last time their price is expensive and later due to the responce is not that good, they offer free version and reduce their price.
What a pity is that directadmin has swept the most orders by offerring only $9.90 for admin, reseller and client version, compared to Zervex, you got to pay $39.90. So many datacenters take directadmin due to the datacenter does not need to bear minimum bulk license.
Zervex can't make a hit due to wrong marketing strategy, based on my opinion. You can't charge high when you are new in the market. I would suggest them to follow DirectAdmin's pricing strategy in order for it to survive.

I'm getting old and don't do drugs. I get the same effect just standing up fast.

I've been using it for a few months with a select few clients that have requested it and have had no issues thus far. A breeze to install and clients absolutely love the simpleness and general ease of use.

Sadly it doesn't support Debian.

I do see your point, but if you have a look at the product itself ( dsm ), its pretty much built around the redhat OS ( forgive me if incorrect, this is from my own experience ) and would perhaps work with debian, but the challenge of porting, I fear anyways, would be rather useless.
My 2 cents. I just can't justify using debian in a production environment, though I could definitly concur that it has its place. Frustration frustration.. GO UBUNUTU!!!
ps. For those non linux fanatics, ubuntu is based off of the debian distro, but a much more up to date, and secure, and IMHO much better in use in a production environment than debian, the godfather.
That said.. GOD SAVE DEBIAN!

I agree with you, Ubuntu is a great distro. I use it at home. However, when we are talking about server environment, stability is everything. Ubuntu's up to date packages and a rather short release cycle make it not as stable as debian IMO.
