Hello, thanks for your response, Neil! |
| 2 |
As for dmcrypt usage, what do you think about truecrypt or pgp whole disk |
| 3 |
encryption as alternatives to dmcrypt? |
| 4 |
I would like to have only one partition with all home directories on it, |
| 5 |
and I would like to avoid usage of initrd as I don't use it now and I would |
| 6 |
like to keep it that way if possible. |
