    imho: Donīt waste your time with GUIs, that in the end lack flexibility anyhow.

    And if it getīs more advanced like a cluster or whole datacenter,
    then have a look at puppet or cfengine.

    In my opinion this may be true,but for that I would need to know shiz loads of commands,in addition to that it would take far more time than doing "clicky clicky" with a GUI. :/


    Any other options ?

    Well, I personally prefer to use SSH.

    However I've heard a lot about webmin and it's ease of use. Although a lot of people have said to me that it has some security issues, even though none of them were able to tell me the nature of these security issues.

    If it's OK with you to have some unverified (or at least I can't say there are or aren't any) security issues, you can go with webmin or at least take a look at it.
