     @verita84@poster.place you're a very confused man aren't you? First you love Linux & FOSS then you hate them and can't stop praising propriety wares and now I see you wandering back.  Anyway, I've always loved playing with Sid myself and since I don't like using GUI's it has never mattered which DE or WM I use. All I can say is welcome back and I'd love to hear your thoughts on total disk encryption for Linux and practical ways of doing so.

     Thanks. I'll get in touch with you soon and discuss how I could do that practically with any distribution, especially if that option isn't currently available.

     @verita84@poster.place Oh, that's how they do it. You're talking about using a chroot environment to do the encryption, right? I have a script that does it for my Pine Phone but I've yet to adapt it for anything else. However, lately I have been giving full disk encryption a lot of thought. I'm going to keep on reading up on it. Your script is very insightful too. I've gotten a few more clues reading it. So I'll be doing some rough experimental runs to see if I know what I'm doing and keep on at it until I refine the process. I hope you get your project running like you want it to. When it's finished, I don't see why it can't be adapted for other installs.
