Webmin is basically a system admin platform for unix but has a web based platform. In order to get started, you will need to make sure that you have the requirements installed on your system.
In order to do so, you must have PHP5, Apache and MySQL server installed on the system.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install webmin on Ubuntu.
