Great question...I tried to get an answer before, but probably phrased it
incorrectly.  If I had it installed, I'd make a chart something like:

Function	GUI	WEBMIN	NOTE
DNS		Y	Y	no conflict
MAJOR DOMO	y	y	Webmin installs majordomo, not compat.
				with GUI created lists
Some_feature	c	c	Both webmin and GUI provide some_feature
                                both conflict with each other - choose one

Admitedly its a simple minded approach, but if someone who has both
running took the time to "chart it", the community would benefit from
having the information.

I'd love to see it, either in a chart form, or in plain text that I'd
be happy to render into a chart and make available on a web page and/or
as an autoresponder file.

Can't comment on the band width, but since it embraces Cobalt Software and
the operation of Cobalt servers, it appears to be on-topic.
