[plug] Centos openvpn question if I could

[Chris Griffin]

Sadly so. The main reason I am going away from Fedora though is what
they have down with Gnome, especially, and to a degree KDE. systemd
was because I could not work out how/where to set up and start
openvpn. So much seems to be missing out of /etc/init.d and I could
not work out where or how to do it now. And I had little interest in
working it out given  I hated the new gnome interface so much.
