Ok :)

"dont change a hair for me, not if you care for me"
       From "my funny valentine"
           -- billie holiday version is best :)

I have only looked at webmin a little, but it seems to be built around command
line linux, wrapped up in perl for the web.  It has a very busy mailing list. 
I get the impression they would embrace DL, though I didnt ask.

Keeping things simple and modular makes sense, automating later through webmin
or another web server.  It would be nice to do everything from the build to the
kernel compile all custom on some donated server.  Or the webserver could be
in-house, on the users support box.
