As the Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) development gets going, many people will probably be wondering what new end-user features they can expect. This article lists the top 5 new features. My Take: Nothing really exciting. I still shiver over the inability of the default Totem installation not de-interlacing my camcomder-derived home videos and DVDs because GStreamer doesn't support it, or no full A/V support on Pidgin yet, or something as simple as this which I've been asking for years now and it would probably take 5 minutes to implement.

Without encrypted swap and temp, it's pointless to encrypt files and filenames.
It's as easy as steal -> put drive in new device -> strings /dev/swap partition.
The OS is even irrelevant.
The only good answer (currently) is a drive that self encrypts, OR a fully encrypted disk.
Unless you just want to obscure files, and don't care if the contents are retrievable on theft. In that case, encrypting a file system without a signature is fine as long as you don't keep shell history or event logs anyway.
:-D
I'm eager to play with Truecrypt whole disk encryption, but LUKS for everything but /boot seems to work very well.
