There is the eBox Platform which is fairly new and Ubuntu-centric at  
the moment:
http://ebox-platform.com/

Unlike Webmin it abstract service management to a higher level.
e.g. Rather than configuring Samba you define your "File Sharing"  
needs and eBox makes the relevant Samba configuration changes.

It is a completely different way of approaching the configuration  
problem that has its pros and cons depending on your environment and  
needs.
