Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.

Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.

What's New:
Big improvements in Ubuntu support, including the Bootup and Shutdown module, mounting filesystems specified with the UUID syntax, and various default module config changes.
Re-designed the Simple Blue theme to use frames.
Added support for IPv6 addresses in modules where the underlying servers allow them.
MySQL backups can now be compressed with gzip or bzip2.
Added file locking and logging to the Postfix module, and improved access control features.
Added checkboxes and buttons for mass deletion in the Cron and DHCP modules.
Added access control options for the Info window to the File Manager module, and a feature to allow extraction of ZIP files on the server.
