Never had problems installing on a Raq4, which is based on Redhat 6.0 
I believe.

Installs direct from rpm or source,  ( it even detects that it is a 
cobalt raq and changes the configuration to reflect this ).

I also believe it is a lot easier to configure the server using this 
than the gui, although I started web server admin on a Redhat 
machine, so I am a bit more aware of the underlying configuration and 
what I want/need to do.

You can use the dns system through webmin ( have been for years ), 
but it designed for people with a good working knowledge of the 
domain name system and BIND.  

As you say there will be a clash if make changes to dns in webmin, 
then go back to the gui.  This is because the gui stores info in a 
database instead of reading the configuration files directly.
