Truecrypt has been the only thing I've used for the past 6 months. I've been fairly impressed with the easy of use and the flexability of the program. I think you've made a wise decision :P
The only problem right now with TrueCrypt is that it _may_ *seem* to be cross platform (Windows and Linux) but actual functionality is targetted at Windows Users. One can still use it under Linux, but to create/alter/etc the TrueCrypt partitions, one still needs to have access to a Windows Box. However, I'm unsure if it's able to function using WINE/Crossover Office. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
