I am exclusively on Linux. And they do indeed have a setup for any Linux 
that supports OpenVPN. They have a direct setup for Ubuntu, which works 
with Mint. And I have used it with Slackware. I haven't tried it with Suse 
11 sp3 yet, but all the plumbing is there so I doubt there would be any 
issue with that. Pretty sure I tested it with Fedora 20. 

I don't think I got it working on RedHad 6.5.
