Webmin doesn't really change the concepts much. You still need to
know all the details about the applications and their config files,
although it can help keep you from making stupid syntax errors. SME
server makes things simpler by combining concepts. For example you
can add a NIC mac address, an IP address, and a hostname in one
place, and it will configure the DCHP server to give out the right IP
to that device and the DNS server to resolve the name. You can
create a web/ftp and file share with one name - and create a group for
users and get both unix permissioning and an email group built.
