Webmin is hardly comparable to the Cobalt GUI, IMO - they work
in completely different ways.  Webmin's for configuring
particular network services, whereas the Cobalt GUI aims to be
more of an "appliance" where everything tends to be more
centralised/organised, and one GUI operation may do 10 or 15
things to the system. 

Webmin also seems to make a huge mess of config files, too, even
if you don't touch them manually :-(  I've seen some changes
that have really scared the crap out of me.
