http://www.lexar.com/flash-drives/jumpdrive-s25 http://www.encryptstick.com/home-2/what-is-encryptstick-3/ It's software based, so I'd guess you can just choose to not use it. Encryptstick isn't normally free, so what you're getting with this product is bundled license for the software. There is a Linux version on their download page. The only advantage I can think of over LUKS is cross platform support, but I didn't look into enough to know if that's in fact a feature of the product. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
