Nobody replied on this, so I'm not sure if that's lack of knowledge or lack of interest, but in case it's not the latter there does now seem to an early Linux client for Hamachi (you need to register on the forums and ask for it at this stage, but it proves that it is being progressed). My attempts at installing it have been 100% successful, which is nice.
Well, given that it is (well was) Windows only software I'm not surprised that there isn't much interest on a Linux mailing list.
I for one would not be am certainly not really interested as it is closed and non-free software which when it comes to security stuff doesn't really excite me all that much, especially given that the company doesn't really have all that much to say about itself so I have no idea who they are or what their track record is. Let alone the idea of running a VPN on Windows machines in the first place... although, I have run hardware VPNs from several manufacturers in the past (think Cisco and Netscreen) but at least they don't suffer from running on a Windows box in the first place.
