I use RHEL, RH 8, 9, FC-1 and FC-2 on various systems and am about to
test out whitebox at home. Webmin works fine on all of them, including
FC-2 so if you are having a problem with webmin, it is an isolated
problem.

The webmin is distributed as rpm and tarball and I always use the
tarball but the rpm is distributed as noarch since there aren't any
compiled binaries...it's all perl scripts.

On the other hand, I would agree with John in the sentiment that Fedora
might not be the best choice for a server since it is intended more for
cutting edge technologies but it should work well. Perhaps you should
remove and reinstall.
