I have to say that I enjoy lwat more than the old webmin. Lwat is fast
and clean and gets the job done reliably, with useful guidelines in
help.

Last time I looked at edubuntu, they were still using webmin, so
someone not so far away must be maintaining it.
I didn't use much of webmin however, just the ldap and backup. I found
the rest frustrating and slow.
What I would like to be improved (more than lwat) is slbackup.php. I
have failed to backup to another machine on Etch and now Lenny. It
would be fantastic if I could manage to do that through slbackup.php
