[plug] Automated Domain/Mail/Log/Apache setup Script

[Shannon Carver]

Thanks Richard, 

I've used Webmin before, its modules are more of a GUI wrapper over the
standard config files, as we all know that adding domains/virtual
hosts/email etc etc takes just as long, if not longer done in Windows
(GUI) that it does by hand!

I'll take a look anyway

A place worth looking is at Webmin http://www.webmin.com/ Since Webmin
is supposed to make admin easier for non-techies. I would search there
for you, but my internet access is a bit strangled at the moment.
