   If you are woried about your data, most theives will
   not bother with data.  They wipe the hard drive clean
   and sell it.  If they want your data, a password is
   also only a minor obstacle.  If they slave your drive,
   password protection will not help.  Passwords are only
   useful if they are trying to break in over a network. 

There are encrypted filesystems available for Linux.  Of course, you
have to be careful that you haven't left copies of the password
scattered through swap space, etc.

Even in the very recent past, couples had a high tolerance for
discord, and accepted compromises and a low-grade discontent.  But now
a low-grade fever has set in and marriages are succumbing because only
a perfect relationship will do.  No one wants to settle or accommodate -
everyone wants *more*.          -- Erica Abeel, 1981
