I'm a firefighter and we have a lot time off. So I help out with the other firefighters. They have small businesses and I install Linux Servers. They seem to like Webmin. I have one firefighter that runs a small pool clean business and needs a small PBX.(3 lines) Anyways, its just easyer on me to show them how to make changes on webmin.
