2.1. Downloading Webmin for Your System

The latest version of Webmin can always be downloaded from www.webmin.com/. At the time of writing, the latest release was Version 1.100, but new versions come out frequently. All of the instructions below, however, will use Version 1.100 for the filenames. If you download a later release, the version number in all the filenames and paths will have changed.

Some Linux distributions, such as Mandrake and Caldera, include Webmin as a standard feature, so it may already be installed on your system. The version that they include, however, may not be the latest official version that is available for download. If you are happy with the release that you already have, however, you can skip this chapter.
