I also don't really see the point of administering a desktop in that way. Ubuntu and most other Linux OS's that are meant for desktop use already have GUI tools built-in with which you can manage most admin tasks. Webmin is really more meant for server OS's, and headless systems so you can manage them remotely via a web browser.<br />

Besides that, there are also several Server Distro's that come with their own web-based admin tools, like Zentyal, and at least it's tools are much more streamlined than webmin.

I use Webmin on both Ubuntu and CentOS. &nbsp;However... many server environments do not have a GUI installed and all the admin tasks must be done thru the command line.

Hello!<br />
Recently I found out about nice looking GUI interface for system administration tasks -- Webmin. I'm talking about Ubuntu desktop environment to be more specific. What I'm asking is... If this tool seems to be so convenient (at a first glance!), then why most experienced Linux system administrators prefer to work in CLI?

Your opinion about Webmin for Ubuntu Desktop

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
