Hi
I wrote post about Webmin in ITPencil. My Persian friend like it. I decide to write post about Webmin and how to installing it on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).
It’s very good for newbie.

from webmin.com:

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.

Installing Webmin On Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)
Webmin has some dependency package.
Install dependencies:

sudo aptitude install bash perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl \
libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

After install dependencies, you can download and install Webmin. Last version of Webmin is 1.390.
Download Webmin:

sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.390_all.deb

Install Webmin:

sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb

Log in and use it:
Copy this URL into your web browser: https://localhost:10000

Hi

Commonly used for a long strings that are frequently used. Alias allows you to have a small more familiar command or name to execute a long string.

Set an alias
Syntax
alias [name[='command']

name	Specifies the alias name.
command	Specifies the command the name should be an alias for.
-a	Removes all alias definitions from the current shell execution environment.
-t	Sets and lists tracked aliases.
-x	Sets or prints exported aliases. An exported alias is defined for scripts invoked by name.
-p	Prints the list of aliases.

Examples
alias command with no arguments or with the -p option prints the list of aliases:

$ alias
alias ff='firefox'
alias l='ls -CF'
alias la='ls -A'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias sx='startx'

Sets clr to type clear

$ alias clr='clear'

Remove an alias
Syntax
unalias [name]

name	Specifies the alias name.
-a	Removes all alias definitions

Clear all Linux / UNIX bash shell aliases

$ unalias -a

Note
When the computer is rebooted all alias will be lost.

How to prevent it?
All alias must be added to .bashrc file located at your user folder (example: /home/saeid/.bashrc)

Example

$ gedit /home/saeid/.bashrc

paste:

alias clr='clear'

now you have to ‘compile’ your .bashrc file

$ source .bashrc

Now clr alias it’s saved.

Good luck
