Debian etch comes with lvm/luks in the installer. I have looked at Arch Linuxs information about preparing the hdd first by writing random data to it THEN installing an OS. It makes it harder to read. Encryption is something I'm concerned about right now and if Lenny supported my hardware then I might give it another go. In the mean time I use the kernel option FUSE and ENCFS which basically creates a hidden directory that the file names and contents are encrypted by various methods. I think Blowfish is the default. Works great you just have to remember to umount the encfs first before making backups or the directory that is used to unencrypt is in the open. I looked at the Truecyrpt site but they only have *bunt* deb and not Debian deb so with entrusting my data to being scrambled I don't want to loose it with their naming conventions and other adjustments they make to debs. I guess I could compile the source for it if needed. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
