This week we've released a guide for those of you who want a secure and encrypted Ubuntu operating system. Data encryption is one of the best methods to protect your sensitive files, especially if you own a laptop. Unfortunately, on the Ubuntu OS, this is only available in the text mode installer. But that's why this guide is here, to help you install a fully encrypted Ubuntu OS on your computer.
In other news, we would like to inform you that the Ubuntu Brainstorm project continues to grow and was updated this week with the possibility to bookmark ideas, developer comments are now visible, better user information and statistics, and two new browsing methods for all ideas: by most popular and by latest ideas.
