[Novalug] Pointsec Hard Drive Encryption for Linux

[Matt Ahrens]

Unfortunately, you cannot replace PointSec with TrueCrypt.  TrueCrypt
is a fantastic solution for personal use and for encrypting data on
thumb drives/CDs/DVDs, it is not a solution for whole disk encryption.

TrueCrypt's hidden volume feature is a great way for the more paranoid
people on this list to  hide encrypted data within encrypted data.
IIRC it requires a FAT FS to work, but hey, it sure looks interesting.

Thanks,
Matt
