What is Webmin?
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. See the standard modules page for a list of all the functions built into Webmin, or check out the screenshots.

Virtualmin 3.60 released
This new version adds webmail and admin DNS aliases to new
domains, a page for setting global variables for use in templates, support
for editing included domains in SPF records, Module Config options for a
custom logo, Dutch updates, and many other small features and bug fixes. Get it from the Virtualmin
downloads page.
Several of the Virtualmin plugins have also been
updated, mostly with Dutch translations thanks to Gandyman.
Virtualmin 3.59 released
This update includes Plesk 7 migration support, MySQL permission replication, POD documentation for the command-line API, the virtualmin API wrapper command, purging of backups on FTP and SSH servers, a complete Spanish translation thanks to Ignacio, and much more. Get it from the Virtualmin downloads page.
Complete Virtualmin API documented
I've updated the Virtualmin command-line API docs to include all the programs and parameters. These are now generated from POD docs in the code itself, so will stay much more up-to-date in future.
Virtualmin 3.58 released
The biggest new feature in this version of Virtualmin is support for multiple backup schedules, and a new UI for editing them. Domain owners can also schedule, backup and restore (to a limited degree) their domains. Version 3.58 also improves Plesk migration, adds logging for API calls, allows remote MySQL clients to be edited, and adds a full Dutch translation by Gandyman.
You can get it from the Virtualmin downloads page, in a variety of formats, or see the full change log. Also available are updates to many of the Virtualmin plugins. You'll need to be running Webmin 1.420 or later to use it though.
Webmin 1.420 and Usermin 1.350 released!
The new version of Webmin includes Ubuntu 8.04 fixes, the ability to configure Dovecot locking, indexes and control files, better Postfix SMTP client restriction management, a debugging log file, and Korean and Dutch updates (thanks to JoungKyun Kim and Gandyman respectively). You can get it from the Webmin download page, or view the change log.
Also available is Usermin 1.340, which adds read flags in the webmail interface, better syncing with IMAP servers, faster display of new mail, auto-whitelist managemant, and other changes.
