The beauty is, you'll never need any of that.   Pretty much everything 
that you're looking for can be accomplished via the Web GUI.   That's 
certainly where we recommend you take care of such things.

Glad you like it!   BlueOnyx itself traces its roots way back to the 
days of the Cobalt RaQ servers.   That DNA has been built upon over the 
years and I'm glad you agree it's a very capable platform.

I don't recommend adding Webmin.   There's really no reason.

All of your functions are managed via BlueOnyx.  That's the whole point 
of the system.   If you add anything else, you risk breaking BlueOnyx. 
While this group can be very helpful with anything you might run up 
against, if you start putting different add-ons in there, you're not 
going to get much support!
