I took a look at Plesk recently and found something rather disturbing. It installs it's own versions of Apache, MySQL, Qmail, and ProFTP. This doesn't sound too horrible until you find out that they don't include the source code at all, Just the compiled programs. I don't know about you, but that scares the crap out of me. I think that "Control Panel" software should work on any version of the daemon software, not just the one that it installs for you.
