Remote linux admin
What is the best (free or not free) remote admin tool for linux? Like webmin. Should be customizable: I mean simple for simple people with simple neeads, and complex for experts! Interface is also important! Hit me with what you got!

Best depends rather on a lot of factors, if you are happy to run on the command line then sshing in is by far the quickest method of configuring a server (also low on bandwidth)
Webmin is a good and highly configuarable tool allowing degrees access control lists and to me sounds likee the best solution for you.
VNC would allow you a graphical session into the computer as would running x clients onto you x server.
I have never seen / tried commercial solutions but im pretty sure unless they do something you have a particular need for a feature they provide Im sure sshd webmin vnc or a combination of said programs will do anything a commercail product would.

everything explained: usermin for users administrating what they can do, and webmin for admins.
but if you want a panel like cpanel for hosting, try http://www.web-cp.net/

I want a program that users who know basic Internet configuration could config the box. Not SSHD, that is not for them! web-cp seems to be prety nice, but I can't start the demo..,
Other programs?

Webmin is quite good I think.
Normally I just use the built in SSHD server to make a connection to it and do all the admin on the command line. You can tunnel X over SSH aswell so you can run graphical programs if you have the bandwidth available.
