Are there any good or possibly better alternatives for webmin ?. Basically I want to have one single application to monitor the entire Ubuntu system / network / … , etc.
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
Using any modern web-browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache,
DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually
edit Unix configuration files like/etc/passwd, and lets you manage a
system from the console or remotely. See the standard modules page for
a list of all the functions built into Webmin, or check out the
screenshots.

There is something called Ebox. I've only heard good things about it. It's free software and it's in the archives. It has many modules for different things, like network. They've renamed it to Zentyal, but it's still called Ebox in the archives. You can read about it here: http://www.zentyal.org/
