Disk Encryption

Being a laptop can I encrypt the whole disk?  If so how would I go about doing it?

Re: Disk Encryption

You can do full disk although I have not done this myself.  I always just use encfs which allows me to encrypt only the files I want.  You basically create two folders.  One will hold your encrypted data and the other folder is used to hold the decrypted data once you mount and vice versa.  Works well for my needs.

You can also use Truecrypt.
