[Openswan Users] NEWBIE: How to set-up a L2TP/IPSEC server for linux

[Denis Hawkins]

Hi everyonei.

I am very new to this entire openswan setup for L2TP over IPSEC for Linux.
Can anyone give me list of the best RPM's version combination for the
following Linux Distributions, which install without errors?

OpenSUSE 10.1 (Best kernel or latest version?)

Openswan?
L2TPD?
PPP?

Fedora Core 4 or 5 (Best kernel or latest version?)

Openswan?
L2TPD?
PPP?


I am looking at installing a L2TP over IPSEC server that has static IP
address assigned to both Inside and outside addresses over an Ethernet
connection, using XP and windows 2003 clients.

Thanks
