For a distributed Installation with up to 100 sites, I strongly recommend to go with a small SOHO Router appliance. Because they are easy to replace with UPS delivery, they are more robust than PC Hardware, and have less mechanical parts. Depending on your topology, a simple commercial concentrator in the main office, may also be much better than implementing a Linux solution, as long as you do not have reasonable experiences. I tink the OP made himself clear, he has none. There might be good reasons to go with an OpenBD or Linux 2.6 IPSec Installation, in that case go for it. If you do not need the programmable features, and you do not have experiences in Linux Networking and IPSec, safe the money for endless work hours to get it up, running.
