While the VPN is not officially supported for Linux users, it does work in many distributions. You will need the 'network-manager' and 'ppp' packages for your distribution installed, then use the web-based login (vpn.brown.edu) - note that this currently doesn't work in all browsers (definitely not Chrome). You will also need superuser access to install the plugin.
