Re: [LUG] Webmin on Linux.

Also ignores the possibility that people may use webmin without using any webserver. I use it to administer my own PC and occasionally any of the laptops connected to my home network. For that purpose it suits me fine.

Saying 'Don't use webmin because of possible issues with Apache' is like saying 'Don't use the World Wide Web because of issues with the Internet', inasmuch as the underlying framework has little to do with the separate service run on top of it.

Kind regards,
