Sorry, should have clarified: Truecrypt does support Linux as well as
Mac, and is a great tool for creating encrypted USB keys to pass between
platforms when needed.  I've used it myself, and it works nicely.

What I was referring to was the "system encryption" portion that's a new
feature in the 5.0 release.  The documentation seems to indicate that
that particular feature is only supported in a Windows environment.
