Makes sense to me (I guess). I don't need to encrypt
You need your windows in an unencrypted partition. At that point, grub
should detect it. You should have at least two unencrypted partitions --
Your windows dual-boot and /boot...And optionally swap, but that would be
separately encrypted.

Hi,
I have been using full-disk encryption on my laptop for several years over
several laptops. My current one is a Dell Latitude E6500 with a 2.66GHz
Core2Duo P9600 with 4GB of RAM, and the lag from encryption is not
noticeable.
The way I did it was from the installer. I created a separate (and
the chance that you will miss something. It very quickly turns into
a logistical nightmare that doesn't scale very well.
That is the reason I encrypt the entire banana rather than trying to
encrypt the peel.

is that Linux is about
freedom of choice. There are several choices for any conceivable app you
might run. In the Windows world, you have one or maybe two apps to do a
given task. With Linux (and *BSD), you may have half a dozen tools to do
the same task.

Pretty much, Oracle did, when they bought Sun Microsystems and left
OpenOffice to languish with no support.

Hey,
I have been watching for the new nvidia drivers that fix the regression in
the trapezoid renderers with some anticipation. I found that 290.03-1 was
released to experimental, so I downloaded and installed them.
I installed yesterday on my laptop, the Dell Latitude E6500 with the C2D
P9600
and kernels, but is there something unique or new to
290.03 that might be causing the problem?
Thanks,
