I'm baffled by that statement - can you provide a source, please? Ubuntu (in its LTS versions) is specifically listed as a supported operating system for Webmin, and a "Grade A" supported operating system for Virtualmin [1]. As you suggest, eBox/Zentyal does *NOT* do the same job as Webmin/Virtualmin. I have used Webmin and Virtualmin for a couple of years now on LTS versions of Ubuntu, and have had a very positive experience of it. As well as web2py, I also do integration and hosting with Zope and Plone, and I've been very happy letting Virtualmin manage Apache for the "standard" virtual hosts, and managing web2py, Zope and Plone virtual hosts by hand.
