It's not too ugly.  But I spotted something far more crucially
important.  Lots of the information is aged, not necessarily correct and
some needs to be updated.

Like, RPM packaging.  Using rpmbuild on tar.gz packages might work.
However, the openvpn.spec(.in) file we have is basically unmaintained.
It does not tackle the new world of systemd specifics (which impacts at
least RHEL/Fedora and SUSE).  There are also more RPM based distros,
which I have little knowledge of.  I would rather suggest we skip
providing this file.  Each distro have their own packaging guidelines
and preferences how to do things.  We should rather point users at those
maintained .spec files instead.

The IPv6 entry is also in desperate need of an update.

The bridging entries can be unified (at least have a common entry point,
where to dive deeper).  And it should also include a pointer to
http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BridgingAndRouting ... And we
really should as much as possible lead people away from bridging; it is
really not the right solution for most of our (community) users.

We should probably also have another group of entries, "Networking" ...

That's just the 5 minutes review of this page .... It's a good starting
point, but I think we should improve it a lot.   And I call for help
from the community! ;-)

Join the #openvpn IRC channel on FreeNode ... and we can discuss these
entries and how to organize things there.  (Nicks to really pay
attention to are: ecrist, krzee, danhunsaker, ordex, plaisthos, syzzer,
cron2, dazo - probably a few more, but those are at least a starting point)
