Anyone use Webmin to manage multiple Linux servers? I saw the demo on their site and it looked really nice and like something I would want to get on the LAN however I am not sure if this Webmin requires a dedicated server to run on and speak to all other servers on the LAN or if Webmin must be installed on every individual server I wish to manage under the application.
Anyone know or have any experience with this tool?

Thanks!
You typically install it on every server you'd like to manage with it. I've used it and it's a great tool.
It is very easy..install package
Goto web browser and point to server address and port 10000 thats it...It does make life easier though as a complete novice I tried to use command line more so that I know where things are. Be careful it is a very powerful tool and with a few clicks things can be altered.
Can't comment on a distributed install.
Its there a lot of configuration because that seems like a huge project to install and configure an application on X amount of servers.
It's very easy to install, but if you have a bunch of servers, it can be cumbersome to deploy. However, running setup.sh is easy, and the questions it asks are simple to answer, and you wind up with a 'custom' installation for each server, with little effort.
