And I have learned that when you try to tell them that their XP desktops
are very vulnerable because Microsoft no longer supports XP and it won't
be long until the anti-virus people stop supporting it too, that they
just kind of go blank.
I've got Ubuntu Mate on my laptop configured to look just like XP to
show them that you can get around the learning curve but that doesn't
help either.
I had Windows 7 in it for a while but thought that installing software
was an absolute jungle. Almost every free download wanted to change
some setting or install a toolbar.

My friend is looking to put some "financial" records up on Dropbox in

with a combination of MAC / Windows environments for his
administration, so I felt this was an un-stated requirement, which the
AESCrypt web site seems to cover. He has barely tinkered with Linux
so far, and I doubt he could convince the church (if they are in fact
a part of this issue) to change operating systems.

What's your co-worker goal? If it's just encrypting his /home dir,
then
use the LUKS-based encryption (it's out of the box with Ubuntu). If
it's encrypting files to share them cross-platform, that's a much more
complex question.
