    apt-get update

    wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh

    sh install.sh

    From my experience, installation takes about 7-10 minutes, then postconfig another 2 minutes.

    Easiest CP to set up hands down. BTW, in addition to Virtualmin/Webmin, the above auto-install script builds you a complete LAMP + mail server with all bells and whistles. You might want to turn some stuff off to keep RAM use down. I found this a perfect match as post-post config:

    apt-get install dialog rcconf

    rcconf

    Opens dialog screen, allowing you to set which daemons/services you want starting and running after reboot.

  • What's different here? It's the default installation process. http://virtualmin.com/download.html#gpl

    Default Virtualmin installation is a bit bloated. Builds an all-in LAMP webserver & mailserver. Personally, I prefer to run those two on separate VMs. Virtualmin CP is great for both, of course, but you need to disable services off manually (not only in Virtualmin). For example: unchecking bind9, SpamAssassin or ClamAV in Virtualmin still leaves them running in the background, eating up memory. Good to substitute the default MySQL with Percona XtraDB or MariaDB or MongoDB or turn it off alltogether - on a mailserver, for example. And make sure it stays off after reboots. Speaking from personal experience, many people forget VMs get restarted and things come back up ;)

    This aside, nothing special here except another mention/reminder of the best CP there is ;)

    Yeah, it's great -- but the UI for end-users/clients is not good at all in my opinion.

    I agree. End user UI could be better. A bit confusing as it is. This said, it's still better than anything else out there. Not to mention it's free (GPL version, that is). Many people try to save $$ on a VM and then pay 100% - 200% on top of that for a CP like Cpanel or DirectAdmin ;)

  • @andrzej:

    You should be able to get DirectAdmin for $5/month -- seems quite fair. I know that Virtualmin is working on new theme-ing using Bootstrap -- check out their forums.

    Well, maybe it's just me, but an $1/mo VPS (or even $5/mo VPS, for that matter) and a $5/mo CP sounds a bit ridiculous ;)
