- jamezracer, on 07/27/2008, -2/+17very well done, we need more of these howtos in the linux world, they make life so easy. thank you!!
- MWeather, on 07/28/2008, -0/+9"safe browsing, a good AV, and firewall"
This is Linux, not Windows. - 89greener, on 07/28/2008, -0/+9Let's play pretend... I'm going to steal your computer and then you can tell me that your data is safe because of "safe browsing, a good AV, and firewall" ; )
- Harbinger1080, on 07/28/2008, -0/+8Well, no... but safe browsing, a good AV, and firewall are no replacement for good encryption.
However, with their powers combined... - Torpov, on 07/28/2008, -0/+7They become Captain Planet!
- razorsharpwit, on 07/28/2008, -2/+8I like sharing information, thanks yall
- 89greener, on 07/28/2008, -1/+6Doesn't work? What exactly doesn't work? Specifics are always more helpful than broad, generic claims of a OS 'not working'.
Have you tried the forum pages. There are people on there with a knack for getting things to 'work'. - MWeather, on 07/28/2008, -2/+7Install OSX on a Dell, then tell me it works.
- tankerkevo, on 07/28/2008, -2/+5Yeah I tried to run Vista on my Toshiba 1.2 Ghz machine with 750 MB of RAM, it doesn't work either. It's also a broken OS.
- YodaJones, on 07/28/2008, -2/+5Well done article.
- dattaway, on 07/28/2008, -1/+4The day when plausible denyable encryption is part of the default install is the day we win.
- andrewtheart, on 07/28/2008, -1/+4Do you actually read the code for yourself tho?
- ieatpizza, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2It's articles like this that remind me why I read digg. Thank you for the great submission.
- 89greener, on 07/28/2008, -1/+3Good article; however, I have both install discs and this seems like a walkthrough that only applies to Ubuntu 8.04 server, not the desktop install. Right or wrong?
- TheG2, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2Works for me.
Typing from my Dell Vostro running OSX. - drunknmunky1, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2You need to download the alternate installation CD. It's a desktop install but there's no live CD and you can set up encryption from it.
- Xanium4332, on 07/28/2008, -2/+3Do I trust Maxtor (Seagate), or do I trust the code I can read for myself...
- 89greener, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Thanks for that!
- tehmoth, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1linux needs better man/info pages, not another 7000 howtos.
- expert01, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Maxtor has come out with their BlackArmor hard drives, which have 128-bit hardware encryption when there's no USB cable connected. Another good option for the security-minded.
- dougle, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1What did i win?
- Icetype, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Looks like some spammers have found this thread.
- Harbinger1080, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Thank you :)
- GreatSunJester, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1Got a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop sitting beside me with Ubuntu running perfectly, down to the wireless and Compiz.
- lead2thehead, on 07/28/2008, -3/+0Nice job. A+
- rayfoy, on 07/28/2008, -5/+0put it on tv!
http://www.realitycasting.info - MISSIO23, on 07/28/2008, -5/+0In desperation .. excellent .. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1536177//
- ncc74656m, on 07/28/2008, -7/+2Encryption is great and all, but it's no replacement for safe browsing, a good AV, and firewall.
Even so, great in depth article. I was wondering about such things. - inactive, on 07/28/2008, -16/+1I tried to install Ubuntu and it doesn't work, so I stick to Windows XP and OS X. Call me crazy, I just don't really like OSs that don't work.
