Thanks, Bill (and Zoltan)! Both of you make excellent points and this,
along with Zoltan's pointers, is most helpful. I have a question: can an
encrypted disk be unencryted without losing the data in it?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

I'll second the plug for cryptkeeper. I've done it both ways -- encrypting a
partition and using cryptkeeper. Both have been pretty transparent. I have
had no problem using ssh or hibernating with either, but I like the selectivity
of cryptkeeper.

What you'll get in disk encription is a partition ecryption with
dm-crypt/LUKS. You can read a lot inside the manuals.
Otherwise if you don't wanna encrypt everything, then you have
alternatives - as Cryptkeeper what is in the repository. That provides
EncFS for folders, and usually in most cases
Hi,
In Fedora, there has almost always been an option at the disk
partitioning stage to encrypt the disk ("Encrypt my data"). I have never
used it but wanted to try it. So, what does this give me? In other
words, is it still possible to 1. Hibernate and come back (with
password, perhaps)?
2. ssh
