webmin, linuxconf

[kam]

How do webmin and linuxconf compare to each other? I hear webmin recommended more so I am wondering if I should try linuxconf.

Isn't linuxconf a Redhat specific configuration tool where Webmin can be installed and used on most distros.

http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf/compatibility.html Says there it can be used on other distributions. Looks a little out of date, though...

if you want it just for a workstation then you "probably" want just usermin but if you are running servers and stuff then you want webmin.

i use webmin to administer my server most of the time although i always have an open ssh connection to it as well. you can do everything with webmin including file management, server management, logs, custom commands that you want to run, ................

Okay, I've been using Webmin and its just great so fine. :)
