I haven't seen the exact BQ pkg you refer to but can comment on a virgin
Webmin installation on BQ.
Most things will work fine but...
Webmin will conflict with BQ for the following:
a) adding/removing web server configurations
b) adding/removing site users and their associated mail aliases
You may get away with modifications to the above configurations, but don't be
too shocked if you subsequently cannot edit them again via the BQ UI.
The thing to do is make sure you have backed up all BQ configuration data
before you try to change it with Webmin, then you have some hope to revert
any conflicts that may be caused. Ideally, you would also experiment with any
operations you might like to try on a non-production box first.
Of course, if you had no intention of using BQ for the sites or users that you
add with Webmin, then that could also work (e.g. your internal accounts and
sites)
In the case cron entries, Webmin does provide quite a nice interface and I
have not noticed any conflicts with BQ when I changed crontab entries with
Webmin.
In summary, there is no "down side" as long as you avoid editing site, user or
mail configuration data which the BQ interface is managing.
I'll say it again though... Be careful *and* make sure you have good backups.
Hope this helps.
