You guys should really take a second look at CP+. I like it for all the same reasons that you guys like Webmin, only CP+ is much more polished then Webmin. In fact, I believe that CP+ was originally based off webmin code. There are a few places where you can definitely see the resemblance between Webmin and CP+. Bootup and Shutdown for example, almost identical with the exception that CP+ is very well polished.
I'm not a sales rep or anything like that for Positive Software, but I know that it works and I like it for all the same reasons. Plus, it never hurts to know what your options are right?
