RE: Webmin and Caldera

[Dan <dan...@cy...>]

RH 7.1 doesn't install Linuxconf anymore unless you select the individual
packages (At least for the custom install).  Since RH 7.1 already comes with
OpenSSL preinstalled, it is ready for Webmin using SSL.  If there is
anything we can do, don't hesitate to let us know.  Good luck!

Best regards,

Dan

I think suse is pretty much comitted to YAST, but maybe redhat would be
interested. Though linuxconf does seem to be what they are focusing on
these days at least for their desktop configurations.. are you sure it
is really depreciated on their server config?
