    Phoronix: Cockpit In Fedora 21 Makes Linux Administration Easy

    One of Red Hat's newest software projects was the Cockpit Management Console that was announced near the beginning of the year. With the Fedora 21 Server release due out tomorrow, Cockpit is shipped by default and is a great new service for easy, web-based administration of servers.

    Really nice

    Wow, this looks really nice!

    Would be awesome to run this on a microserver.
    Would be cool on a Raspberry Pi or a Intel NUC.

    Still needs some work though, to make somethings more clear. Maybe help icons or pop-overs or tooltips or such.

      Right step

      This project is definitely the right step for Linux. The biggest complaint I hear about average people learning Linux for system administration is that it is too hard. With this project, the biggest complaint about Linux on Servers will be fixed.

        Wasn't that fixed already with Canonical's Landscape?

          A proprietary and commercial tool for Canonical customers doesn't fix the problem for general Linux users. It needs to be open source and usable across major distributions for wider adoption.

            How does cPanel compare to Landscape and Cockpit?

            While Canonical has Ubuntu Landscape as an enterprise systems management tool, which is not free after a thirty-day period, Cockpit is fully open-source and free.
            Heh heh heh... Take that, Canonical... Unless there is a community version of Landscape...

              Sounds much like CPanel but a tool like this is surely welcome as it'll make administering many servers a snap, as well as setting up new servers and VM's.

                No, this sounds much better.

                CPanel is a commercial, proprietary, old, legacy software.

                Cockpit is a free open source software modern breeze built with modern web technologies. HTML5, CSS3, Ajax, responsive design.

                  I am not sure whether a web based root terminal is a wise thing to do ...
