Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

The rpm doesn't always add the nice menu icons, and things. You would need to add those manually, but you should be able to run your openswan from the CLI by typing $openswan. Try that, and for getting it into the menus, I'm sure there is howto on google. Maybe, even one around these forums, just do some digging you'll get it.
Thanks for the advice, but it didn't work for some reason...it just says "command not found"...and when I try installing it again, it tells me that package is already installed.

To see all files you installed when installing your rpm, try: "rpm -q --filesbypkg openswan"
You will probably see the program you are looking for in the output.
