Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.5

WARNING:

The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly
installed supported Operating System, but upgrades from existing .wbm-
based systems, or systems that already have Apache VirtualHost
directives or mail users, will very likely run into numerous problems.
Please read the Virtualmin Administrators Guide before proceeding if
your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS.

This script is not intended to update your system! It should only be
used to install Virtualmin, on a supported OS. If you have previously
installed Virtualmin via this script or the GPL version of this script,
upgrades and updates should be handled within Virtualmin itself. Once
Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again.

The systems currently supported by install.sh are:
CentOS 4 and 5 on i386 and x86_64
Debian 5.0 and 6.0 on i386 and amd64
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS on i386 and amd64

If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail. More details
about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

Hope you will enjoy it!!!

Even though it probably does not hurt, you should not install Apache, MySQL, Webalizer and similar stuff manually. The Virtualmin installer script will do that for you, and choose exactly what it needs.
