Great review! Also you're completely right about the Apple's philosophy regarding the solutions, they provide you something and you MUST use it in the way that someone else decided (no other ways without a little bit of hacking). Honestly I've tried the iPhone (im living in italy) and the result without a wide cover of WiFi services (and sometimes the 3G network) is a completely useless phone where over the 80% of the fancy functions aren't usable. I need to wait for the android to come in Italy then [cry] :)

Aló galera. Sou Moçambicano e tou densenvolvendo uma tese acerca edo webmin. Não encontro nenhuma fonte bibliográfica que possa garantir integridade na busca da informação adequada acerca da importância, vantagens entre outros no que diz respeito ao seu uso!
Peço que me ajudem a concretiza-lo.

This was a great read. Thanks for writing it!

Webmin has nothing to do with PHP. You can use any PHP version you like, and Webmin won't care. Webmin is written in Perl.

Virtualmin does manage many aspects of PHP, but it too doesn't care what PHP versions you have. We actually provide php 5.2.6 packages for some of our supported platforms, and it works fine. The Webmin Pear module also works with pretty much any version of PHP.

Hi there, we have just recently started using Magento and it reqires PHP 5.2.6 to operate, I have been told that Webmin does not support this?

Re: Old School to New School: Refactoring Perl

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for your interest! I wasn't sure anyone would care about the nitty gritty details of Webmin's helper programs, but I'm finding it an interesting exercise. As for CPAN, Jamie and I chatted about it last night over dinner, and he not only liked the idea of dropping it into CPAN, he suggested a few other interesting "ancient" pieces of code in Webmin that would enjoy some janitorial work, and might be useful for anyone doing systems management tasks.

I'm normalizing the versions, as we speak, (Webmin has a sort of odd way of versioning things, designed to provide continuity of lineage to systems that are the same, but restarted their version numbers...like Red Hat to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise, while most folks will want the "real" versions rather than these "relative" versions) and will be wrapping up the second part of this article in the next day or so. Once that's done, I'll start in on a third installment about releasing to CPAN, which is something I've never done, so it'll be a nice learning experience.

Think you'd ever massage this into a module for CPAN? It would be really beneficial to a project I'm working on right now!

Hey Paul,

I have no idea what you're talking about. There is no standard module for HTB. Perhaps there is a third party module for it...but, if so, why not just install it and make your own screenshot? I'm confused.

Re: Webmin at 10

Paul — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 04:58:22 -0000

hello...anyone have a screenshot of webmin for HTB(Hierarchical Token Bucket) please.. I really need one..

Anon: Still can be used with only one user. But I'll concede the point. It's still four to two in favor of pure value, or "product", based business.

Spune: dodgeball.com was not a Y Combinator backed company, as far as I know. ycombinator.com doesn't claim them and I've never met the founders at any YC events. But perhaps you know something I don't?

aren't you missing some companies that sold early from the first round as well? dodgeball.com comes to mind.

I can assure you Anywhere.FM is a community-based app for me. I have no music of my own, and it gives me music free of charge from the community.

I had a similar issue to overcome, this is my solution, with slightly less overheads...

It's mainly for use with PHP and Perl, but might work in other languages.

Re: Sharing JavaScript Code in Webmin

It's not a minor undertaking...it's still in development. Other projects just keep pushing it to the backburner...but it will be finished eventually.

augustusburg, Webmin works fine on CentOS 5.1, to the best of my knowledge. You'll want to bring up any problems in the Webmin mailing list...or file a bug in the bug tracker at Virtualmin.com. But we have lots of folks using it on 5.1, so it's known to work.

Re: Webmin at 10

augustusburg — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:35:35 -0000

Yes! Ten years are a long time in the unix world.

Thank You!!!, because it is great, it is small, it is usefull....

(But what can I do today, that webmin works on my CentOS 5.1 ??)

Hey.

I've checked out this post and also one here > http://www.obsceneart.com/?p=11

I'm really interested in getting an extjs look at feel for webmin...is there a module for this that I can't find, I'm not yet confident in making my own.

Is there anything you can do to point me in the right direction?

Cheers drew.

Too late, Dave. We picked one by ulahts that didn't get featured in this article. But most of us also liked the flag-style one by rust3dboy a lot.

rust3dboy's logo seems like a winner -- streamlined, modern and digital -- go with it.
