08 Dec 08 Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows
For anyone still toying with the idea of moving to a Linux distribution this is exactly what you need. I currently have two machines, Windows XP SP2 (i386) and Windows Vista Home (x64), that have Wubi (Ubuntu 8.10) installed for when I need a true development environment for Python, Ruby or Java. After years of developing on the Windows platform(s) just to have my work moved to Linux servers, this setup is perfect for pure Linux to Linux development.

Example: Ubuntu 8.10 setup lamp server
Enjoy!

10 Jun 08 Technically Speaking: Installing Webmin on CentOs 5
This article is right on the number for getting Webmin install on the CentOs 5 operating system. The only thing I would recommend is getting the link to download the latest RPM by going to the Webmin.com and get the download URL from when the page is redirected to download the file. I accomplished this with a right click on the “this direct link” and copying the location to my clipboard and then pasting into my PuTTY session.
