Hi All !
I was looking for a reliable content management system (CMS) that is easy to use and powerful.
I mainly need it to publish news and articles in different categories and with different users and user levels or privilages.
is there any program that is easy to install and maintain.. and it's design can be easily changed to match my site's design?
PHP will be great but if you recommend something else please feel free.

Sometimes the only way to be happy with a CMS system is to build your own which is what I eneded up doing and it works great.
Why not build your own?

Coranto does all of that. Best bet is design your own, though wih Coranto, you almost have to do that anyhow.
Or you can hack to bits a blog like b2 or pMachine and add features you want.

Programming your best is ALWAYS the best option in my opinion.
You'll often spend the same amount of time locating, installing and customizing a script to meet your needs that you would have spent if you just programmed it yourself.

Search helps, (google as well) this thread has been asked many times, and each time I posted where Coranto is available from and several sites running it.
Your best bet is to code it yourself if you dont want something that looks like everyone elses and want all of those options. If you are looking to code it yourself, take a look at Coranto (Perl) which is used:

http://www.arstechnica.com/
http://coranto.gweilo.org/

I intergrates with UBB, vBull and phpBB as well as many other features and you have complete comtrol over it, but you will need to code your site yourself.
It can be found at http://coranto.gweilo.org/
Good luck!

A "template"?
You mean actual code or a spec. for it?
Generally a solid yet simple spec. would be:
-- Admin
-- Genre Manager
-- Content Manager
-- Comment/Member Manager
-- User Interface
-- Sorting System
-- Search
-- Member System
-- Comment System
