Use cryptsetup-luks to set up encrypted swap partitions and |
| 11 |
use /etc/conf.d/cryptfs to manage it. If you use a different key for |
| 12 |
swap, there's no risk of it unlocking the wrong partition and formatting |
| 13 |
it. |

The word 'Windows' is a word out of an old dialect of the Apaches. |

It means: 'White man staring through glass-screen onto an hourglass...') |
