Idea:

Add TrueCrypt to mint by default.

TrueCrypt is the easiest cross platform encryption software. Windows and Mac both have easy encryption. Linux mint should have the same.

5 years ago	quake0	NSA is spying on us. They are looking through our hard drives in the airports. We need this now!
6 years ago	quake0	Lets approve it already.
6 years ago	quake0	Why is this not even in the software maneger.
6 years ago	quake0	Any word?
6 years ago	Hammer459	Nice idea. Even better with a program that supports PGP/GPG for mail etc. I'll promote this even if it is not the perfect solution.
6 years ago	quake0	Can we get this by mint 14?
6 years ago	quake0	For some reasion I can not get this to work on LXDE desktop.
6 years ago	Lopau	Just include it in the Repository. I don't think is needed in default installation, although I use it daily. This is the same idea as TrueCrypt in standard installation
6 years ago	crismblog	A good idea, promote it.
7 years ago	quake0	We have drop box, but we don't even have true crypt support to protest us. Thats one huge reason to have this installed by default.
7 years ago	quake0	The problem with luks support is that a newb like me knows nothing about it. True crypt is easy to use and intuitive.
7 years ago	quake0	Whats LUKS support?
7 years ago	wiltons99	Trucrypt is an excellent open source utility but we also have LUKS support which is just as effective.
7 years ago	quake0	It may be optional but it helps mint's "works out of the box feel" Also easy encryption has been built into windows since Windows 2000. Mac has their version default in the OS. Its a basic feature that every OS should have.
7 years ago	blueXrider	This is optional for the user and is not part of the operating system
