I have been pondering laptop theft. Now, I know our company source code is of limited interest to all but a few odd companies scattered around the globe.

By design, the laptop is complete and can be used to create the entire product for four or five platforms, just by a few make commands.
Use encrypted partitions, however, I believe they have to be configured as encrypted, when created. You can also use a hard drive password, if your computer supports it. Hard drive passwords are not easily defeated. Don't forget about those utilities that ensure files are completely erased etc. As always, security is a many layered thing. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
