Summary


In this chapter, we had a look at some of the more advanced options that we can use in our TrixBox system, from manually editing the configuration files to adding in custom trunks. We've also seen how to add some additional capabilities by installing tools such as WebMin. It's important to remember that our TrixBox system has CentOS at its core, so we can treat it like any CentOS server and install all the tools we like to use in managing our servers.
