Webmin doesn't do much to hide the complexity. It just gives you a web interface and a little syntax checking but you still have to know what programs you need to manage and what all the options mean to modify any particular service. ClearOS/SME/NethServer management interfaces are much more task/function oriented and you generally manage them without needing to know much at all about the details of the underlying programs. Some of the form actions may in fact affect more than one program's settings. The down side is that if you want to change things the existing web forms don't handle, you then need to not only know all the underlying normal linux configuration details, but also understand the additional web forms and their coding scheme that is going to rewrite the config files. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
