Yes, you need to run an encrypted root but don't want all the overhead of encrypting everything in /usr. Someone recently posted some benchmarks showing how awful an atom's performance can be with encryption, so this makes good sense with a netbook. Of course, running an encrypted root means you need an init thingy[tm] anyway, so there is no problem with mounting /usr from there too. -- Neil Bothwick There's no place like ~
