Ok I am going to take the plunge and try installing openVPN and try
getting it to work. If anybody can help me along I would really appreciate
it. I printed out the HOW-TO install guide from http://openvpn.net and
will do my best. A little hand-holding would be appreciate, I know enought
to be dangerous. I use Mandriva LE2005, been using Linux for several
years. As I use wifi with my laptop out and about at cafes, I want to set
up a VPN between my wifi laptop and a home PC running a VPN server program.

I have urpmi setup, so I am first going to try installing openVPN on both
my laptop and Desktop (to serve VPN).
