i have stumbled upon these GUI tools that could help you manage your linux server through a web interface.
ebox, webmin, ispconfig, zivios, ispcp, plesk, cpanel etc.
i wonder what the pros and cons are with these solutions.
a lot of people is saying that they are not as good as using pure command line (ssh) to manage your server.
but i think thats yet another "linux are for advanced users" talk.
i agree that some things may only be done with the command line by editing directly in the configuration files. but i don't really want to do that every time and for everything.
its like not having phpmyadmin for managing mysql. it would be a pain in the ass right?
so if one wants to throw up a web server serving a php site oneself developed and wants all the usual stuff up and running (mysql, phpmyadmin, svn, webdav etc) is these tools the right way to go?
