Sorry to start with such a dumb question but:
I've just started installing ubuntu 12.10, after reading quite a lot about it, and I got prompted with the following two questions:
- Encrypt the new ubuntu installation for security?
- Use LVM with the new ubuntu installation?
For the lvm I was able to find quite some info and it does sound like a benefit, but I wasn't able to find much about the encryption. More precisely, how exactly would it disservice me.
I.E. I plan to use dropbox a lot, will the encryption make any problems when trying to open files on different computers?
