NEWBIE ! Control Panel - I need free / open source

Hi guys,
I have to give someone a good panel ( other than cpanel ) that is very low cost or is free and opensource.
It should have the basics, email, dns, etc.
I like Zpanel. what else is out there these days, needing something really very easy to be used.
Webmin is a bit of unfriendly to newbies.

Plesk 11 - netsys-online.de
Kloxo?
This is a struggle for me right now as well. Something to recommend to clients. That new kloxo fork gives me problems with the install script (related to MySQL, and seriously 512mb better be enough ram). Froxlor is one of my top choices but I still have issues with FTP configuration. However, there is only one right now that I find installs and runs from as few commands as possible, much like cpanel, and that is.... Don't laugh .... OpenPanel.
When @BlueVM finishes Neon that'll be the one to use.
@jhadley: I'm sorry. I don't speak spanish.
Just kidding.

Thanks @jhadley
There is also DominionHosting (formally NewWebsite.com) that offers VPS + DirectAdmin for free for 4.95 per month:

Never used them, nor affiliated with them.
@darknessends - http://sqz.io/ispc3
cPanel
Worth the $10-15/mo licenses
@zhuanyi - I have my own VPS.
Why not ISPConfig3? Or Virtualmin?
@marcm : newbie stuff - ispconfig still is a bit nerd
@seriesn - virtualmin and webmin are too much of power for a newbie user. Confused and Can hurt the machine.
WOW! And you want to be a provider?
I am going back to command line. vi and cp / mv does better job for me.
@seriesn: you dnt read it properly, I am saying about the user of a VPS. Not me !! I wnt need panel to run stuff, I can use config file.

What is the $1,30 Aufschaltgebühr? Is it like a one-time charge or is it like a set-up charge?
And does the license only works on their VPS or it would work everywhere?
Google Translate: "activation fee"
Weird, Google translate showed $ 1.30 connection fee for me, I was like WTF is connection fee, LOL
If your user can't use simple panel, they should not be using unmanaged vps.
facepalm
@zhuanyi In German words are modular, so you can make them up like you wish if you want to. Sounds like a made up charge... connection fee or something.
Aufschaltgebührrrr is a verrrry old-school gerrrrrman worrrrrd forrrr activation fee, as ourrrr frrrriend doughmanes has just corrrrrrrectly pointed out, mein Herrrr.
@seriesn : Are u not reading correctly, They can use panels, I am asking i want to provide a simpler one - not the one like webmin and ispconfig that have access to loads of features. Do u get that ?
Give me my other half of your pie.
@marcm : Plesk 11 - netsys-online.de, 10 plesk licenses for 2 USD / month ?
thanks @marcm and @amitz so basically the license can be activated on any VPS, not just the ones sold by Netsys right?
@Amitz - Dankeschön für die Klarifikation mein Herr :-)
@seriesn - lol, make username ( otherhalfpie ) - and post whenever he posts, may be a bot using RSS feeds
The problem with this community is threads go offtopic easily !
@darknessends - Tell me about it. Anyway, how much RAM do you have on that VPS?
1GB OpenVZ
I have used plesk, its newbie friendly.
