Hey Nathan.
I use encfs/fuse as its built into the kernel, bcrypt and gpg. All run under
GPL unlike Truecrypt which is Open Sourced but the owner holds the copywrite.
Meaning they could pull it back, etc. Plus it is not in the Debian repos like
the other ones.

Nathan,
I just did a Fedora install of my new laptop. When I setup the disk partitions,
there was an option to encrypt a whole partition. I did so for my /home1
partition. When it booted, it asked for the passphase for my /home1 partition.
There is a GENTOO How-to page on it at

That's a really good question Nathan. I've used encfs for directories
since it's so easy to install and use, but it's not for whole disk
encryption. I haven't tried WDE because I wasn't sure what the different
distros would support and if you ever have to use a rescue disk it would
make it that
Does anyone know of a good comparison article between truecrypt and dm-crypt.
I am interested in full drive encryption, partition encryption, and file
encryption. Not just usability but design strengths and weaknesses, which is
better and for what/why...
