Yep, I've been using dm-crypt with LUKS for a while now, without any |
| 22 |
problems whatsoever. Asks me for the passphrase when I bootup, then |
| 23 |
merrily continues on its way. You can also use a USB disk or some |
| 24 |
other medium to store the passphrase. |

It's been a while since I set it up, so I'm rather rusty on how it |
| 27 |
all fits together now, but follow |

and you'll go far. |
