Quick Install of Webmin (just for fun... why not?)

sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python wget

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.690_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.690_all.deb

Now you can access https://192.168.27.19:10000/ from another computer on the same network.
