Hi, I am completely new to the Linux world, but would like to setup:

  1. An AWS EC2 server running an Linux 10.x instance (64 or 32 bit?)
  2. OpenVPN server

and how to

  1. Start/stop an EC2/OpenVPN service from an Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop client

Can anyone put me in the direction of step by step instructions to set this up?

Many thanks in advance Duke
