Gnome Encfs Manager!

Please don't treat GEncfsM as yet another graphical frontend for encfs. GEncfsM is meant to be run more like a daemon that you configure once and then never touch again. It is tightly integrated into the system and will therefore e.g. unmount the stashes before the underlying device is unmounted when you eject it. GEncfsM can do lots of stuff in the background and if you still activate it manually you're probably doing something wrong ;- # Installation To install GEncfsM on Ubuntu and its derivatives, copy paste the following line into a terminal and hit enter: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gencfsm && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get y install gnome-encfs-manager Packages for Debian, Fedora and openSUSE can be found here ?project home:moritzmolch:gencfsm&pac

  • DiskCryptor

  • DiskCryptor is the only truly free solution, provided under GNU General Public License (GPLv3), which offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system partition. The main criteria for open-source software is the availability of its source code under one of the open source licenses. The only open-source alternative to DiskCryptor that has comparable features is TrueCrypt. However, because of the restrictive license under which TrueCrypt is provided — the TrueCrypt Collective License — TrueCrypt cannot be classified as a truly free software, as it places limits on the use and modification of its source code by developers. There are other alternatives with similar functionality, but they are fully proprietary ones, which makes them unacceptable to use for protection of confidential data. »
