HI,

Does anyone know any software for whole system drive encryption for Linux, I used to use truecrypt for windows, but truecrypt doesnt support system/OS partition/drive encryption....


Please share your thoughts....

Thank You
Sam

Hi sampappachan_nyc,

I personally use ccrypt. It is very light, fast and portable too. You can carry the binary in a flash drive if you want - along with the encrypted files.

Hope this helps.
