For LUKS, what's the feasibility of mounting that from another system?<br>
Also, is there any real difference between encrypted home directory<br>
and "Private" directory (in terms of security) ?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br><br>Yes, depending on implementation. Private simply sets the default permissions when creating users' home directories so that other users of the system, without extra privileges via sudo/su, cannot view others' home directories. Encryption (depending on methodology) would provide for protection from anyone stealing your laptop, or, if it is individual homes encrypted, potentially from all users including root without knowing the magic involved.<br>
