This can be accomplished with just about any OS. Some require loading an OS kernel first with a custom ramdisk or mini-partition to kick off the encrypted disk driver; others can use off the shelf products designed expressly for this purpose. The only thing that bugs most people about full disk encryption is that it often doesn't support "hibernation" -- but if the hardware has a standby power save mode that is low enough on power consumption (S3 or similar), that shouldn't be a problem. -- -- Todd Vierling <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]>
