Should we man up? And respond in mass , I think so I've used Betanews for about 9 years , but the last year I've become very tiresome of the bias and one sidedness and my use has tapered off a considerable bit , but this may be changing or as usual betanews is just late to jump on the band wagon.

I would feel sorry for the people who pay $120 for some AES encryption but then I remembered that thay payed $120 for some AES encryption.

I feel that this makes it perfectly reasonable to laugh.

I had a truecrypt volume on my hard drive under Windows XP years before Vista and Bitlocker came out. Never used it for anything, it was kind of just a novelty to set it up.

But so far so good with the article series, eh?

I don't get it.. user any recent Fedora release and the installer will offer a simple tick box to encrypt your system as part of the install. It's easy and it's secure.

Where is the challenge, we already do this and it is a simple one step operation.

Betanews's challenge was to prove it's either already available or available and better.
