Hi  Andrew... Yes, I looked at truecrypt when I was looking for a method of 
encrypting files and directories for private and business purposes. It works 
as advertised.

However, since all the Linux boxes sport current version kernels, I opted for 
using ecryptfs instead... The tip point for me is the fact that ecryptfs can 
use any of the encryption engines offered in the current kernels. That is, 
aes, des, blowfish, serpent, etc... More choices means more work to hack open 
what you encrypt.

Cheers and Happy New Year to you.
