</div>For the record, Debian (and Ubuntu's non-livecd) installer have<br>
supported setting up and installing to encrypted LVM using LUKS for a<br>
while. I used it at my last tech job without any noticeable decline in<br>
performance on a Pentium 4-based system. With multiuser systems, you<br>
need to give the passphrase to anyone who might boot it, so there are a<br>
lot of fingernails to pull. If you only care about data in /home and<br>
want each user to have their own key, take a look at encfs and its<br>
corresponding pam module.<br>

Some people use their own roll of Ubuntu, Debian or even a few Gentoo users. But the crypto is mandatory. The linked article is the best written cookbook I've seen yet and it works exactly.<br>
<br>encfs is pretty cool! I found a link <a href="http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/06/13/dual-password-encryption-with-encfs/">http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/06/13/dual-password-encryption-with-encfs/</a> with a decent article on using it for personal stuff. <br clear="all">
