encrypting disks

[Zoltan Hoppar]

What you'll get in disk encription is a partition ecryption with
dm-crypt/LUKS. You can read a lot inside the manuals.

Otherwise if you don't wanna encrypt everything, then you have
alternatives - as Cryptkeeper what is in the repository. That provides
EncFS for folders, and usually in most cases this is enough.

HTH,

Zoltan
