Re: Encrypting the hard disk?

I would recommend the loop-aes package, available in Debian. You can use AES or some other cipher with it. Here are a few useful links:

http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README
http://clemens.endorphin.org/cryptography
http://wiki.boum.org/TechStdOut/LinuxCryptoFSBrainStroming
http://jdoedoe.tripod.com/
http://mareichelt.de/pub/texts.cryptoloop.php

I was using cryptoloop before, but often had system lock-ups under heavy disk activity (like running VMWare on top of encrypted partition). Never had problems after switching to loop-aes.
