Maaz — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:52:45 GMT

all the corporate data in a stolen notebook is insecure

we have enabled Encryption via EFS on all Windows XP notebooks

is there any solution for ext3/reiserfs as EFS for NTFS file system in windows ?

I mean I want to secure/encrypt the data of all laptop/notebook users.

Shalom,

Fedora 9 and 10 both offered a whole disk encryption option for the OS. A bit buggy IMO but you can count on seeing that feature available in RHEL 6 when released.
