Adding Webmin

To make it a little easier to admin - webmin



#sudo apt-get install ssh

Enable the universe and multiverse repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto)

wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.340.tar.gz

gzip -cd webmin-1.270.tar.gz | tar xvf -

sudo apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libpam-runtime openssl perl perl-modules

cd webmin*

sudo ./setup.sh

Basically just hit enter and choose SSL and the auto start the service at boot
Web server port (default 10000): (Feel Free to change this)
Login name (default admin):
Login password: AReallyGoodONE
Password again: AReallyGoodONE
Use SSL (y/n): y
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n): y

Now you can login with the user/password that you set at the https://IpAddressOfYourMachine:10000
