#1 On Linux there is native support for encrypted filesytstems in other words: if someone steals the disk and insertas it into a systems whre he is admoinstrator he will get zero information of it unless he knows the pass phrase (who can be arbitraruily long).

I know there is user space support for the same in Windows. For reasons I will noit discuss this is not as goodd as Linux kernel sapce solution but it is still wmuch<.b> better than strolling around with laptops containing unencrypted information. I were Britain's defence minister there would be a lot of ministry's IT personel either performing sepuku or volunteeering for Afgahanistan.
