If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
Webmin's best feature

I think the best part of Webmin is the "Cluster" ability. When I started with my current employer, they were getting a bunch of Red Hat boxes. I didn't have a problem maintaining each one, but the Senior admin wanted a way to touch all the boxes at once.
The Cluster ability allows you to maintain multiple boxes at one time. Usually I use the cluster command line option. I can get stats, find out who's on what, who has an account on what, and look for different things with grep and find at the same time across all the boxes.
Granted we only have about 150 Linux servers in our company, but the tool has made easier to maintain all of them. Even with the tool, I still log into a lot of the boxes and do commands at those locally but when I'm looking for something I prefer Webmin
Good one for the Newbie administrator
