Webmin is a configuration and management software for Linux that runs in a web browser. This software can manage a host of Linux configuration options. Webmin is not required to run the Linux server being set up but it certainly makes life easier.
Having Webmin is advantageous as it allows the configuration of the Linux box from anywhere in the world.
Obtaining And Installing Webmin
Obtaining Webmin is easy. In fact, it may be installed on the system already. Several Linux distributions now include Webmin as either its primary system administration interface or as an optional package.
Also, a large number of Linux hardware vendors use Webmin or a modified version of Webmin as their graphical administration interface. Best of all, because Webmin is free software, even if Webmin is not included, it is only a download away. It can be downloaded from www.webmin.com
Installing Webmin
Installation of Webmin differs slightly depending on which type of package has been chosen.
It is available in three forms:
tar.gz rpm pkg
Installing from an RPM is easier as only a single command needs to be executed at the Linux Command Prompt: [root@orchid root]# rpm -Uvh webmin-1.050-1.noarch.rpm
