I'm not sure if some of you are on the Unisog mailing list or not, but they have a nice thread starting on drive encryption.
An opensourced program called Truecrypt was mentioned (www.truecrypt.org <http://www.truecrypt.org/> ). Perhaps I'm just ignorant, or have been to lazy to search up until now, but this program rocks. Works in Windows and Linux, encrypts on a mounted file or partition level. Works great with thumbdrives. I may be preaching to the choir, but I'm happy to have found it. I have a lexar Touchguard with thumbprint reader. Thing isn't very useful since it doesn't support encrypted partitions natively :-( (was a cool gadget to buy though). Now I can have an encrypted thumbdrive from the partition up (even though I can't use my finger to open it, oh well). Later! William Diehl
