Not to mention the fact that webmin is an absolute sham. It is the worst
designed piece of "software" I have _ever_ seen. For one, it manages to
break the file permissions such that it is self-referential in the
security exploits that come up every other day. I've been tracking
webmin for sometime now, and the security patches to it are immense, and
yet this *STILL* doesn't solve anything. The developers of webmin need
to be shot.

The other reason why it is useless is that it is teaching people to be
lazy. Take the DNS module to webmin. DNS by its nature is complex, and
if you're planning to do anything with it, you'd want to do it right.
Webmin's enumerablity of the "features" it offers to configure DNS is
shit.

Yes, and it is the only thing I'll use.
