NetBSD and web gui (Re: [cobalt-users] Qube 2- thanks for help!)



On 1/10/2004 5:49 AM, Brian felt like writing:

Thanks for the posts over the last couple months about what exactly a Qube 2 could and could not do, how much I could trust it, etc.

I looked at the capabilities of the CobaltOS, looked at NetBSD 1.6.1, and NetBSD finally won out. I can put in a big HD, have a much more secure box, many more up-to-date services, and there are 4000+ ready-to-use sources via pkgsrc which seem very current, and many many precompiled binaries ready to install for NetBSD. I've been worried about the services especially and it was like a weight coming off my shoulders to look at the NetBSD software and see the latest versions of Proftpd, sendmail, etc. etc. sitting there, ported, ready to go, all up-to-date.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Is there a web management interface similar to Cobalt's available for NetBSD? I'd like a more up-to-date OS on my XTR, but have to maintain the GUI administration for others that don't like CLI's.
