Not to me... I can't find server1.webminhosting.net (DNS appears broken) so I can't run the demo, but the screenshots don't look similar to me. However screen is simple; DA already has a great skinning system. > Seems to have a lot to build on, including its own https server and > (at least) two levels of privilege separation.

We have to allow PHP on our servers, and I certainly understand your point. But in the webhosting business not allowing perl is a kiss of death. Locally we use perl where we should and php where we should; they both have strengths and weaknesses. I've never been able to understand people coding complex reporting systems in php; perl was made for that <smile>. Oh, but I digress. Thanks for your points.
