51.7. Installing and Deleting Webmin Modules

As the first chapter of this book explains, Webmin is essentially a collection of modules, each of which performs some task such as configuring Apache or managing UNIX users. A module can be added or removed without effecting the operation of others, assuming that they do not depend upon it. Even though the main Webmin distribution includes 76 modules at the time I wrote this book, over 100 more written by other people are available for download from the website webmin.thirdpartymodules.com. This is a searchable database of modules and themes that perform tasks the core modules do not, such as managing the FreeBSD firewall, displaying system information, and connecting to a VNC server.
