 a) Install the **cisco vpn client** for Network Manager typing in a terminal:\\
 <code>
-sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
+sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc-gnome
 </code>
 The system will ask you for //**your LAPTOP password**// and prompt for confirmation.
 \\
 \\
+this applies also to all debian and ubuntu derivatives. For Fedora and Redhat Enterprise derivatives the command to issue is
+  sudo yum install NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome
+For arch linux and derivatives the command to use is
+  sudo pacman -S networkmanager-vpnc
+Further configuration, provided your distribution is currently using network manager, should be the same.
+<note>In case your distribution is not using Network Manager, we can't provide any direct instruction. You could try with the package kvpnc, but your mileage may vary</note>
