Re: Webmin issues

I wanted to jump on this issue as its not the same but still a problem with Webmin. I also want to thank Ian for this walkthrough otherwise (and still might) jump back to WHS. I have WHS 2012 running at home, but I built a file server for Occupy Los Angeles since there is so much video and imagines ...

Re: What's the benefit of building your own media server?

Either I'm really cut out for IT stuff (taking/finishing A+) or lucky. I never has any serious problems with Windows over the years that wasn't solved by basic troubleshooting or updates from Microsoft. The overwhelming motivator for me is COST, I am unemployed.
