Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix/. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely you can also create backups for the system and restore.


Today we  will show you how to install webmin in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

1- Before to install webmin we need first to install some dependencies

    I really appreciate this tutorial as I'm loading up multiple virtual machines with different setups. I do have a question though.

    I get a warning every time I load the page in chrome. Any idea what that could be?
