best practices for a fresh install on a laptop
Hi all,
I've recently had discussions with new users at various events who were
installing Debian for the first time, usually on laptops.
It is easy enough to run the installer and get Debian up and running.
However, if the user is security conscious, or will be travelling to
events and passing through hostile airport/border checkpoints, are there
any extra suggestions about how the laptop could be setup?
For example, should they use the default disk encryption strategy
proposed by the Debian installer, or another strategy? Or should they
be considering a derivative or something else?
Another question that comes up when I have this discussion with new
users, they want to reduce their dependence on cloud services, so what
is the currently recommended way to sync or replicate content from their
laptop disk for backup purposes? While I have various ways of doing
this as a developer, what is proposed for non-developers?
Regards,
Daniel
