If you want people to try it out you might want to tell them a bit more about it.

Add a demo and list more information.

Installing on my development server now. A little more information would have been nice, such as does it require a clean system. Some screenshots etc.

Will give a review once I've tested it.

I've tested it out a little and this is my conclusion:

Install was easy enough, badly documented. On install, I ran the "install.sh" script, installed fiune however you failed to mention the panel requires an SQL database, I checked the dbconf.php file and found the default pass and username so used these to make a database, after deleting the files and reinstalling the panel worked fine.

Opened up my browser, and was greeted by an incredibly minimalistic interface. Screenshot:

My main critique is most of the PHP commenting and most of the descriptions inside and on the login page are done in a language I do not know. You seem to be focusing your market towards the US? Needs to be in English man.

Anyway, inside the panel:

I don't really have the time to screenshot more. I know the control panel says the daemon is not running, I ran it then closed my SSH window as I forgot to specify -d.

Regardless, I'm not very satisfied with this panel. I'd never dream of showing it to my clients, it really isn't ready to be released and I'm surprised it's even out of alpha. I'm not comparing it to cPanel / Plesk / whatever. However, I do feel this panel is a waste of time. Most of the features you've included in the panel I can probably do quicker from the terminal manually. I don't see it justifies installation.

I respect you've probably worked hard on it so far, however there is a long way to go. All free panels I've tested so far have been better.

Thanks anyway, I appreciate your work. It just needs to be improved.
