 ===== Installing using Webmin =====
-Webmin provides more than just some webforms, it is part of a fully rounded virtualization and cloud platform. Virtualmin and Cloudmin are used to create complex networks, and they install on top of a brand new BIND instance. Webmin is the glue holding the networks together by installing its own perl-based web services and the standard GNU/Linux technology stack. Webmin is libre as most frameworks are, while Virtualmin and Cloudmin are the support-subscriptions keeping www.virtualmin.com in business.

 This is a good time to take your first snapshot. Access your instance from the browser, by the IP4 address, at the default port 10000. I would recommend to continue all other installation and configuration from Webmin, for several reasons.
-  * If something breaks lets allow Webmin to break it, that was the fix is going to benefit everyone
+  * If something breaks allow Webmin to break it, and fixing it is going to be documented.
