I have made some changes to the document I have which I think improve it, but have not posted those changes anywhere that they can be seen. I've also "wiki-ized" the document so it will be very easy to put it on the CentOS wiki.<br><br>I agree that the article should be in the HowTo section. As for combining the two documents, I think it can go either way. I think that whether or not they are combined should be determined by consensus. If I were voting, I would vote to keep the documents separate primarily because of what I think a HowTo should be. In my mind, a HowTo should allow someone who knows nothing about the topic to follow a series of instructions with minimal decision making required during the process and end with a functioning system. Perhaps others disagree with that type of cookie-cutter document.<br><br>The fundamental difference between the two methods has to do with the disk partitioning scheme. The proposed document would guide the reader to have a disk with 2 disk partitions, /boot and everything else. This method does not require the use of /etc/crypttab. In fact, the final product from the method of the proposed document would be analogous to adding a bios password to the computer and all other workings of the OS remain unchanged.<br><br>I'm interested to hear whether or not others think this difference is significant enough to keep the documents separate. <br></div><br>the new guy<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">> Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:05:06 +0200<br>> From: ra+centos@br-online.de<br>> To: centos-docs@centos.org<br>> Subject: Re: [CentOS-docs] potential wiki on encryption<br>> <br>> Ralph Angenendt wrote:<br>> > One question: How would your article differ from <br>> > <br>> > <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/EncryptedFilesystem>?<br>> > <br>> > I haven't read your forum post, yet.<br>> <br>> Okay, now I see it.
