There are 3 ways to set up VPN in linux:

IPSEC get info about that over at http://www.freeswan.org

PPP over SSH info for that can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ppp-ssh/index.html

and then there is CIPE (which needs a port of CIPE for windows if you want a windows machine to use this method)

I've taken a quick look into VPN (as i've not had to set it up on linux before), and it seems that CIPE is probably the best way to go, whether you are using linux machines or windoze. It is built in to fedora, and for windoze, justhead over to http://cipe-win32.sourceforge.net

On linux you can set up CIPE by heading over to System Settings -> Network
then click on New to add a new network interface, and the first option in the list is CIPE VPN
