I really hope someone ports the BSD-licensend truecrypt code over to Linux/other BSDs. The Truecrypt license is not OSI-compliant and therefor Truecrypt is nearly always an extra install. I would love to see it end up in my favorite distro (and before you ask, I don't have the time to port it) Wed, 22 Feb 2012 22:34:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (kragil) Comments RE: TrueCrypt-compatible disk encryption http://www.osnews.com/thread?508177 http://www.osnews.com/thread?508177

I'm not trying to start a flame or anything, however, have you considered just using DragonflyBSD & running all of your Linux apps in BSD's Linux compatibility layer? It might be a bit easier and faster than waiting for someone to port TrueCrypt.....IJS Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:51:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (demetrioussharpe) Comments Kudos http://www.osnews.com/thread?508180 http://www.osnews.com/thread?508180 Kudos to Matt Dillon and his amazing team.

No blaming anyone here, but I perceive DragonflyBSD being one of the most (maybe the only one) really active BSD OSes out there.Edited 2012-02-23 02:12 UTC Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:10:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (ebasconp) Comments RE: TrueCrypt-compatible disk encryption http://www.osnews.com/thread?508238 http://www.osnews.com/thread?508238

It's been ported to Linux. It's even packaged in Fedora (yum install tcplay).

DragonFly is less active than the big 3 and certainly more active than my BSD project or MirBSD due to resource differences.

DragonFly is doing one thing right, they've got a few people focused on new features and a few people to do the grunt work. The latter allow Matt to focus on HAMMER and SMP work. I can tell you that most of my time is spent just trying to keep up on hardware support, contrib software and ports. It's hard to innovate and we've really only done it with our package system so far.

Funny, my perception is the opposite. Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:03:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (tylerdurden) Comments
