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.
