A useful application for new users and everyone else

[XstatyK]

There is a cool application called Webmin that is useful for easy administration of your system.
http://webmin.com

Webmin will be expecting that you log in as root, since by default we do not have a "root" account you will need to run this command in a terminal after you install webmin.

sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root yourpasswordhere

Then you open a browser and point it to http://localhost:10000 and sign in as root with whatever password you entered in the command posted above.

Hope you find it useful.
