    Problems with OpenControlPanel?

          There are still a few problems with openControlPanel, because it is still in its pre-alpha stage. Such as security. There are many security threats, and there shall be until mod_ssl is added into the apache 2.0 configuration files. Another Problem so far is that no installation programs have been built, meaning you must manually install all the open source programs that we have included in the Control Panel.
