I try to install raqdevil, but half-year ago it was in beta state and work not stable. Now situation is not different. Webmin will be difficult for customers. I DTC use on my hosting machine, have no trouble: it allow apache/exim/mysql/mailman admining, dependencies are only sbox, sudo, chrootid and rrdtool, other dependencies are only needed features like apache, mysql, etc. > Hi @list, > > (i would answer to the list, not to the persons only) > > First thanks for the suggestions. > > Now my personal opinions: > I like solutions that ar small, smart and easy to administrate/update. > Such as syscp.
