I'm thinking of installing hamachi on my pi to access it from anywhere (no static ip), would this cause any problems with cpu usage do you think?
I have been thinking of that too (VPN's in general actually) and it is something I have been meaning to test but just have not got around to it yet. If you try it can you document it so I can have a play. I have deffinatly been thinking of including something like that in the future (with web ui links) somehow.

Took me a bit of time as I'm a newbie to linux, didn't even know the difference between ubuntu and Archlinux
There's a package available here
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/logmein-hamachi/ though it is not quite ready to install. Needs to be rebuilt with a new PKGBUILD.
Original PKGBUILD:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lo/logmein-hamachi/PKGBUILDMy new PKGBUILD (sure you could clean this up a bit more)

# License
ln -sf "/opt/${pkgname}/LICENSE" "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSEI had to add in armv6h as an option or the packager threw out an error. Also added the line fileatch=armel since I was unfamiliar with the syntax above that.
Also a wiki page on the subject here which helped:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HamachiAtm I'm happily SSHing my Pi from work so seems to be going well! No idea about CPU usage, though my 0.13MH rate hasn't changed
