    Hi,
    I installed the rdesktop client, and as long I'm connected in my office LAN I'm able to connet to remote clients.
    I'd like to to the same when I'm out of office, using a VPN connection. In a different PC (Ubuntu 8.04) I just installed the VPN plugin of the network manager (gnome), and again everything went perfect: I just specdified server, user, password.
    Anyone knows how to do the same with the Aspire One Linpus OS? I've seen some VPN related stuff in the package manager, but I'm not sure about the correct steps to follow, having the minimal impact on the preinstalled OS.
    A gui tool would be perfect but even a commandline it's ok.

    Thank, Ishmael

    Am I right in assuming I need to download the console version of hamachi and then the gui ghamachi ?

    Do I need to become a linux prop' head or will the Linpus RPM system do the work for me?

    No offence intended ;)
