I think you may be running into a marketing problem. On windows they gloss over what is encrypted as they are like linux and need some portion not encrypted to boot from.
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Encrypted-Root-Filesystem-HOWTO/preparing-system.html On linux systems you will encrypt partitions, and you will still need to leave enough on an unencrypted partition to boot from and prepare the system to start decrypting. So if you are used to making a 500-200mb boot partition, you can cram a few different kernels and the initramdisk on the one partition to start up, ask for a decryption key and then mount the rest of the drives. ----- Original Message ----- > Are there any nice full disk encryption systems for Linux?
