WD Passport Essential encryption in Linux

[arch3angel at gmail.com (Robert Miller)]

I went with the basic WD Passport Essential USB 2.0 Part Number 
WD4000ME-00 and just used Truecrypt, protected the entire space as a 
single partition with a really long passphrase.

I did this so I could use it under Windows and Linux because I found 
little information on the topic when i researched it.

Hope this helps,
