Re: reliability of an encrypted partition, I have been using them in DOS for 
about 8 years, and under Suse (now 9.3) for about 4 years.  I have never had 
a problem.  I no longer use 'passwords' (really encryption keys), we now use 
phrases. like 'onceuponatime'.  They are easier to remember, and a longer key 
gives better encryption.

My only complaint is, I would like an inconized program that asks for the key 
so I don't have to enter it each time I boot (only if I am going into the 
encrypted partition.)  Oh yes, we run 2 networks (internal ops and the 
internet).

We don't do windows except for vertical market packages on a dedicated 
computer without a network connection.
