OpenVPN, hands down.

There's a RPM package for Fedora, so it's trivial to install. Then they
give you a set of scripts that you can use to generate the certificates;
the documentation is very clear.

For Windows there's an .exe that you can install. Just generate
certificates on the server for each client.
Then install the GUI from http://openvpn.se/
That's it.
