Teach me about VPN - Want to connect to work from home

Got a Netgear DG834 router at work which supports VPN connections and I'll be connecting from Ubuntu at home to OS X at work.

I know what a VPN is, but never set one up before. Do I need to use software on the Mac or does the router take care of the connection totally? Once it's set up, I assume any drives connected to the Mac will just show as network drives on my laptop at home?
