True that apt-get is pretty easy. But we have webmin on all our machines,
and the source is one way to make sure you have the latest version, I know
they have had a few security updates in the last couple of months. Plus the
installer is very user-friendly. But the best is you actually get to do a
real source install from scratch :)))
As for the original post on an alternate cpanel or plesk tool, webmin will
fall short on the ease of use by the novice web hosting client, though I
think there are some ISP modules out, haven't seen one yet that offers the
scope that plesk or cpanel do. We find the Raq/Cobalt GUI is one of the
better ones for letting a non-tech try and manage email accounts and such.
