    I have been maintaining a server running FreeBSD 5.3 with cPanel
    installed. It has worked fairly decently - but only after I disabled the
    nightly upcp script in cron. :-) Previous to that, the script
    occasionally crashed the server and/or updated programs like Bind
    without using the proper flags at compile time, making them move to
    /usr/local/bin and the init scripts stop working.

    The mailer that cPanel has control over is Exim. Also this server
    handles a little over 200 websites and incoming e-mail for those sites.
    MySQL is done on a separate server, as is outgoing e-mail (qmail) -
    neither of which cPanel has control over.

    Overall, I haven't been that impressed with cPanel. But then again, I
    like doing everything from the command line anyway. Unfortunately, I
    have zero experience with DirectAdmin.

    HTH,
    Jacob
