Wow... gotta love webmin.

Ok, so I've been running a linux web/email server at my office for about a year and a half now. Its a very basic linux setup. Everything is done via the command line on a distro called www.tinysofa.org. There's No desktop whatsoever. I really like learning all the stuff about linux that way.

Today I decided to give webmin a shot. Man is that program AWESOME!! I can now access my linux machine from anywhere on the internet and configure everything from a web interface. Firewall, FTP, Apache, Hardware, EVERYTHING! I'm so excited how easy this thing was to use that I just had to share my little moment of joy. I always knew about webmin but I didn't want to use it until I learned to use the command line in linux. What a time saver!

Although the web-based tools are nice, sysadmins really need to know what's going on under the hood.

Punching buttons on a GUI that mucks around on a bunch of root system files still scares me though - tough to back out changes when you don't know what the GUI changed.

You were wise to learn the cmd line tools first ... now you know what it's doing.
