So, I want to setup a VPN server with a netbook I have, but what distro should I go with? I have experience with Ubuntu server and Debian, but should I use something else for a VPN server? And what's the best program for it. Also, I need to connect to the VPN-server from a Windows-netbook, can I connect to the server just through Windows or do I have to use something like OpenVPN client?

In general I would say Debian is the best hope for you.
Windows have got built-in support for VPN.

Do you know what ports the Windows one uses?
why do you want a vpn?
you should probably google tunneling protocol before you hurt yourself
to tunnel to my home through firewalls
why not ssh

Netbook runs Windows.
then pptp?
I study at a school with more geeks than fucking Assembly Summer, I'd like encryption.
pptp is cryptographic already
keys? certificates? you use linux, i thought that meant you could use your own brain to find answers to simple questions.
pptp by itself doesn't include encryption
plain-text is not encryption
i'm sure windows probably now has included some encryption when making a pptp connection, but that's not vanilla pptp
you're rather silly if you think you need a vpn to tunnel through your firewall
mac address filter
ffff
I tried to VPN back to home from school through the wired network. They block VPN-traffic.
Works and easy:

Well actually last time I checked, they do provide a Linux CLI server.
But Hamachi is not what I'm looking for.
And not like it matters to me anymore since they block VPN on the wired-network and on the wireless, nothing is blocked.
