Well I finally did it - I took the encryption challenge! I followed Zeth’s instructions to encrypt my home directory:
I made a change to use the basic aes driver, which on my machine uses the aes-padlock for accelerated encryption. So far so good!

Rock and roll!
BTW, although I have no complaints performance wise with my setup, Accelerated encryption sounds like an interesting change, I will look into that.
I’m only using it because the processor I’m running on is pretty slow for a desktop - the Via C7 - well actually it isn’t that slow it just has a pretty small cache so it can feel slow. To combat that I’m doing everything I can to increase performance. I just fixed the font renderings in it and it feels much faster.
Also from a performance perspective, my only complaint is that I shut down more often - until I can figure out how to get libsplashy setup to ask for a password when waking up. I wonder if I can shutdown after three failures?
