Public bug reported:
So a few knuckleheads have at my company have had their laptops stolen,
some with important information. What's the company reaction?
Encryption. OK so far. They require encryption for USB disks and
laptops. OK so far.
Now here are the killers:
1- they require hardware encryption for USB disks. BAD FOR UBUNTU (No support
anywhere).
2- They also require Whole Disk Encryption from PGP corporation (BAD FOR UBUNTU
- no Support) - which has centralized key management.
So they basically have shunted the growing community of engineers using
LInux for development by only allowing WIndows with PGP Corp's software,
and Sandisk USB sticks (and others) with Windows software.... nice move.
Any Linux work that we need is replied with "install virtual machine"
--- not an option for hardware development or serious work.
So please, someone from Canonical please contact PGP Corp and make WDE
available for Linux now!!!!!!!
