At some point there was a discussion about using Webmin or replacing it,

Well that's just great. Now I have to spend time writing a whole new
manual. Oh well When I get it finished I will release it here as
totally free.
Thanks for writing a great guide and then making it next to totally
useless Canonical. Hope you change your mind.

Hi all,
Any chance of getting Glables 2.2.x into Intrepid? 2.1.x takes hours to

Hi all,
You know what would be very cool for new users. Once they have a
package installed and decide they don't want it anymore, they could
right click on the application menu item and see "Uninstall program".

Here is another reason.
The documentation is lacking, big gaps and holes in it. Take a look at
