help.
I have debian lenny on a server with full disk encryption (the guided
partitioning option) and an external usb WD Mybook that is also
encrypted with dmcrypt/LUKS.
I just formatted the server to install and try out CentOS. Then I went
to the Ubuntu Wiki to see how I can access the USB drive
You know, i've read at least 5 or 6 HOWTOs on dmcrypt and LUKS and how
to implement it, and not one of them made any real note about storing
the backup *keys* in a safe place. They all just talk about passphrase
security. Not that I can lay the blame at their feet...just that they
howtos are lack

Hmmm. Your OP, then, is confusingly written.

Does this mean that your /, /usr, /home etc were all encrypted, and
that you lost Important Stuff like /home?

I have a WD Mybook 320GB usb/firewire drive which is about 1 yr old.
Warranty is 2 years I think. It is fully encrypted with dmcrypt &
Luks. I power it up once a day and it stays on for about 12 hours (as a
home server) and the manual recommends *not* turning it on more than
once a day.
Now it
I recently installed the latest Debian stable on a server and chose
encrypted LVM using the guided partitioning option. I chose seperate
partitions for /home, /var, /tmp, / and /usr.
All works fine, but I have one query:
the first partition was for /boot and is unencrypted. The second
partition
I have a big disk that I cannot backup due to space constraints and want
to encrypt it. It is an ext3 external WD MyBook drive. I keep movies
music and backups on there so its nothing I cannot lose, but I would
hate to spend time ripping all my CDs and DVDs again.
I run Debian Etch on the laptop

Is this easy to do? Is it as simple as installing an xfce meta package
and then selecting xfce as the desktop when logging in? I've never
tried using multiple desktop environments before and wonder if there any
caveats I need to be aware of.

Well, I installed the single xfce4 meta package and it dragged in a few
extras and it all seems to work great, but I miss some of the Gnome
applet stuff, so I guess I will look into the plugins etc that you

The fact that it works on WinXP should've given you a clue :) It has a
seperate power cable that plugs straight into the wall outlet.

can you stop a password from being displayed in the terminal if using
Vim--copy it to the buffer directly? I use a GUI tool called Keepass
and it allows me to copy the password to the clipboard without being
displayed on screen, so that nobody can look over my shoulder.
