Yes, I'd recommend installing the RPM version, if you are on an RPM-based
system. Also, you should setup a YUM config file that points to the Virtualmin
GPL repository. Just create /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo containing :

[virtualmin]
name=Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - $basearch - Virtualmin
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1

[virtualmin-universal]
name=Virtualmin Distribution Neutral
baseurl=http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/universal/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
gpgcheck=1
