Hi Jamie.  Thanks for this release.  I installed it on my laptop running 
under Ubuntu DapperDrake (6.06).  It's working perfectly.  The only 
problem I can see is the following... On Ubuntu, root access is disabled 
by default.  Users are using sudo to perform admin tasks.  While 
installing your package, how will webmin configure itself to use the 
root account if the password is unknown from the users?

On my laptop, this wasn't an issue because I've reset the root password 
so I can use it.  I'll try it tonight on my desktop, were root account 
is with the default...
