I was told that cpanel isnt compatable with x on Linux. By x I mean GUI like GNOME. Does anyone if this is true?
Full Version: Cpanel and X
by the looks of it it does support Linux RH and RH usually comes with GUI by default so I guess cpanel should support GUI with no problem 
just wish cPanel was free 
Well if you know any C Programmers I was thinking of writing a true OSS competitor to cPanel and WHM.
cPanel doesn't support X? Why would it need to support X? Its a web application.
^^ The output of cPanel is a web app. But whats behind it (the components) is almost a full OS! 
It has plenty of scripts like upcp and stuff.

What, like these?

No. Compared to cPanel those are light-weights. Im talking something big and that could really compete with cPanel. I think cpanel is synonomous (sp?) with professional. Those others are not. What cPanel needs is something like a "firefox" to compete with.
cPanel to Web-Cp, VHCS, etc is like comparing Internet Explorer to Netscape 4 or less,
cPanel to a true competitor is like IE to firefox.

You don't understand what I'm talking about. X as in the X Windows Server. There is no reason for it to have a GUI in linux.

You could always ask if they wanted to merge all three projects... I think that if you guys would be able to come up with an OSS alternative to Cpanel, you'd really have a big community behind you.

What cPanel features are you looking for that web-cp is missing? Or what do you think makes cPanel stand out above these?
Your kidding me right?
It doesnt hold a candle to the features in cPanel such as the server config options, account options, update systems, service configuration.
It is not the same, plus it doesnt have the same big brand feel. cPanel feels professional it is what clients want, Web-CP is not professional, does not support the features that cpanel has and has by all means the most repulsive UI ever.

Nope, no joke. I don't think anyone is saying that it's the same - I'm just trying to figure out what features of cPanel people use that web-cp doesn't have. You listed some here but they were pretty vague - would you mind being more specific? Obviously you were specific about the UI already but what exact account options and server config options are you talking about?
Agh, I made the mistake of installing cPanel once, please be warned that IT WILL TAKE OVER your box! Like what was mentioned before, it's like an OS all by itself, and you cannot remove it and be back to where you were before you installed it. I don't have a clue if it'll allow you to run X on the machine it has "infected".
Most comprehensive (corporate support based) panels have to take over much of the box. Its less of a support hassle and makes it easier on the admin, because it works out of the box. For instance, it probably installs its own Apache, email transport agent, FTPd, etc. IT would be a bit more of a hassle to support Apache 1.3.x, 2.x, Sendmail, Qmail, Exim, ProFTPd, vsFTPd, Wu-FTPd, FTPd, etc. and make it a lot more expensive.
They won't allow X to run. It uninstalls it and then keeps it from running. Just because it tries to make my security and application installation choices FOR me I wouldn't ever install it. Not that I would anyway.
