This is the fastest way to get a Debian server running Virtualmin:

```
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
```

Edit the hosts file and make sure the IP address and domain match:

```
nano /etc/hosts
```

```
127.0.0.1     localhost localhost.localdomain
XX.XX.XX.XX     newservername.co.uk newservername
```

Then get virtualmin:

```
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
chmod 755 install.sh
./install.sh
```
