All,
 
I've been using PGPDisk for the past few weeks to keep client data secure
on my laptop. Recently I've also converted my laptop to dual-boot between
Windows and Linux, to make it easier to get my work done when testing
clients and reduce the amount of file juggling I have to do between
different PCs. My issue arises though, in that I can't mount a PGPDisk
file in Linux. So my question: Is anyone aware of an encryption solution
that will work in both Windows and Linux environments?

You may want to take a look at 'bcrypt' located at
http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/.

Alternatively, 'BestCrypt' from Jetico at http://www.jetico.com/.
