For what it is worth, Ubuntu also ship with filesystem encryption available out-of-the-box in the 8.04 installer, using the latest cryptsetup (the one based on LUKS). I understand LUKS is the standard, official, way of doing filesystem encryption at the kernel level, and that most distribution will converge to it eventually. -- Etienne Goyer 0x3106BCC2 "For Bruce Schneier, SHA-1 is merely a compression algorithm." http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/fact/164
