Webmin is installed on the debian server. You use a web browser on a
different machine.

apt-get install webmin

is its basic installation process on a debian machine. It allows you to
go to https://yourservername:10000/ and login to administer the box from
a web browser e.g. mozilla, internet exploder, netscape, opera, lynx,
etc. . Its very useful as it does hide some of the complexity and power.
If you see a module you want then see if its in apt and do a apt-cache
search webmin. Be warned though sometimes webmin doesnt work as you
would expect and it does have some bugs. As for the squid module. Looks
harder than the config files :(
