Hi, I’ll use Mikrotik as a VPN client but other side, what linux OS should I choose? I can choose Fedora Core5, Ubuntu 6.0, Debian 3.1 and Centos 4.3
Other side, what should I use VPN Server(ex: Poptop)?

I know RouterOS is best, but I bought VPS, and I can use these OS’s which one is suitable with RouterOS?
BTW, shall I use L2TP or PPTP? I’m just gonna use that with only Mikrotik RouterOS.

I have a remote server running CentOS 5.2, And it PPTP’s into my router here on boot. That way I can access its file shares and stuff.
I just use the generic PPTP client and it works great, super stable.
