PGP has a different usage model -- namely that you're communicating with someone far away and you don't have a secure channel to pass a password to him. In the case of encrypting your files, you don't need to worry about that, and you can use a symmetric key with a password that you remember. Check this page for help with encrypting a filesystem: http://encryptionhowto.sourceforge.net/Encryption-HOWTO-4.html Or more generally, perhaps, http://google.com/search?q=linux+encrypted+filesystem Let us know if that helps. -- Stephen R.
