I agree.  I've not found a GPLd server administration package for
resellers that's really usable yet.  If you find one, be sure to let us
know.

Webmin would be a good place to start writing one.  But...

Webmin is owned by SCO.  Yes, it's distributed under the BSD license,
but it _is_ owned by SCO.  So who knows what they're going to say or do
later.

Interesting supposition.  I don't think Red Hat will ever see this
market as viable for them, but I could be wrong.  And seeing their
prices for their professional server packages, my guess is that if they
did we wouldn't want to pay the price.
