Hmmm, well using the built in encryption
tools for partitions on my Linux systems is adequate enough. And the best part is even if you take the drive out and try to get the data that way... it's still encrypted so you have to break the 24 character password I use on my laptop. Yes it's a pain to enter 4 separate passwords but hey, security isn't about being easy now is it?!

Laptop:
/ encrypted 24char PWD
/boot encrypted 24char PWD
/home encrypted 24 char PWD
Login 12 char PWD

Works pretty good! devil
