I've put webmin on many raqs 3s and 4s. It's simple to
install from the rpm. I wouldn't like to go without
it.

Still use the GUI for adding sites and users, DNS,
etc, but it's extremely useful for all the stuff
that's NOT included in the GUI. It's particularly
handy for things such as admin for mysql, checking
things related to sendmail, peeking at logs,
installing extra perl modules, etc.

Some modules will get you in trouble and clash with
the GUI, such as users, DNS, quotas, postgres. The
basic idea is if the GUI does it, don't fiddle with it
using webmin. Stick to that rule and you should be
safe.
