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. -- John R.
