Hi Jim,

Searching at 'http://packages.debian.org', webmin is available in
unstable, but not potato.  See:

'http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/webmin.html'

You should be able to do 'apt-get install webmin' if your
'/etc/apt/sources.list' includes an unstable entry (and you've already
run 'apt-get update' with that entry).  You might want to check out
the some 27 additional modules related to webmin that are packaged and
found via above search.  Also, note that it's generally considered
risky to mix unstable packages in an otherwise stable potato system
without being careful.

Hope this helps and take care,

Daniel
