Encrypted Ubuntu 7.04 - How safe can you be?
Did you ever live with the fear that somebody may break into your system one day and steal your files? Well, those days are over, because you can now have an entire encrypted operating system.
For this setup, we used a freshly installed Ubuntu 7.04 with up-to-date software, nothing else installed. But the following guide is supposed to work with your actual Ubuntu 7.04 installation (no reinstall needed). Beware though: if you don't have the partitions setup like it’s shown below, this will NOT work.
Things needed:
- Ubuntu LiveCD
- cryptsetup software
Here is how your partitions should look like:
CODE
/dev/sda1 -> /boot (about 150-200 MB, mine is 150 MB)
/dev/sda2 -> swap (double as your computer RAM, mine is 2 GB because I have 1 GB of RAM)
/dev/sda3 -> root (/) (should be more than 5 GB, mine is 35 GB)
