Logmein beta for linux clients

[Eric Shubert]

If you use OpenVPN, you simply open a tunnel to the firewall, and it's 
as if you just plugged into the local lan on the other side. Works 
from/to any platform.

I don't see what logmein gains you. What functionality? What open port?
Why use logmein?
