I understand your frustration.  Keep in mind that there are some really
busy people here.  I think it is safe to say that there are people that
have setup vpns using linux on this list.  I am one of them.  I
personally found  simple ssh tunnel between two subnets the easiest to
set up but I also have freeswan running between my house and the office.

I have no experience with pptp

check out the Gordon's ssh vpn scripts at

BTW a quick search of the archives 

http://www.prairienet.org/library/redhat/

might have been useful and then you caould ask a specific question.
