CentOS - Jul 2011 - Howto create a VPN connection on desktop (CentOS 6)

Hi List,

I'd like to be able to create VPN connections on my laptop to connect to 
client locations and I was wondering if someone could point me in the 
right direction for this information. I've checked on the wiki, but 
didn't find anything.

Info appreciated...

We use OpenVPN for pretty much everything other than iPhone and
iPad which don't grok OpenVPN.

OpenVPN works quite nicely with Linux, Windows, and OS X.

you would, of course, need a VPN server of some sort at the client 
locations.   If there is a linux server at each site, they could host an 
OpenVPN service.
