How "hackable" is Devil Linux?  For instance if I wanted to add PPTP
support (which is pretty easy to do on a RH9 box now) what general
process would be involved?  Do they use any package mangement system?  

Adding encrypted PPTP support requires building a kernel module, but not
actually modifying the running kernel.

I'd love to have something that supports both CIPE and PPTP.

I've pretty much given up on ipSec - what a cluster *$&@( @#)$(_
@@#$!!.  Did someone sit down and say, "Hmmm, lets make a really hard to
use VPN technology that every firewall will hate, will have road
warriors riping their hair out in fist fulls, and having DNS admins
looking at the modification requests with a `WTF` expression."?
