Met het programma Webmin is het mogelijk om vanuit een webbrowser een Unix-achtig systeem eenvoudig te onderhouden en te administreren. Zo is het bijvoorbeeld mogelijk om user accounts te beheren, instellingen te wijzigen voor Apache, MySQL en DNS, en file shares aan te maken. Webmin bestaat uit een eenvoudige webserver aangevuld met diverse cgi-programma's, allen geschreven in Perl 5. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 1.350 uitgebracht met de volgende veranderingen:
Version 1.350:Version 1.340:
- Fixed an XSS security bug in pam_login.cgi.
- Added plain-text mode and head section preservation to the File Manager HTML editor, and a field to select which user uploaded files are owned as.
- Added Postfix module configuration options for the start, stop and restart commands.
- Use the HTML output mode from the pgsql command in the PostgreSQL module, for more reliable data editing when DBI is not available.
- The Running Processes module now shows real and virtual memory on Solaris.
- Added Redhat Enterprise 5 support, and fixed SuSE 10 and Solaris-specific bugs.

- Change the default Blue Framed theme to match the style of www.webmin.com, and generally look nicer.
- User interface cleanups in various modules (Apache, Backup Config, Webmin Configuration and others), adding tabs to reduce the size of pages and converting code to use ui-lib.pl.
- The Perl Modules module can now fetch RPM or Deb packaged modules from YUM or APT, where available.
- Added easy fields for sending SMS messages in the System and Server Status module (for US carriers that have email to SMS gateways).
- Replace the old HTMLarea widget for HTML editing in the File Manager and Read User Mail modules with Xinha.
- Linux quotas are now set with the setquota command, which shows up nicely in the actions log.
- Optimizations to speed up getting the hostname and Postfix config settings.
- Improved YUM and Redhat Network support in the Software Packages module.
