If you use Linux instead of Microsoft Windows, its free availability may well be a deciding factor. But the fact that virus and malware contamination are less likely to take down your Linux computers are no doubt essential influencing factors as well.
Matthew Garrett, ex-power management and mobile Linux developer at Red Hat, proudly announced last evening, November 30, that a usable release of the Secure Boot bootloader is now available for download. Dubbed shim, this software is designed for all Linux-based operating system that want to support secure boot and that do not w... (read more)
So, well...
There are lotsa tools to modify the system of Linux distro.
I would like to start own OS. But I s**k at such programming.
Lets say if I take Linux Fedora...

I found an old hard drive of mine yesterday and found that it fits into my current laptop. When I started it up, however, it got to the Win XP loading screen and then restarted.
Then I thought, if I run some Linux distro off a flash drive, then maybe I could browse the hard drive somehow and recover as many files as I can.
Encryption is the process of protecting data by using an algorithm to scramble it.
This manual will be talking about local file encryption - that is, encrypting files on a hard drive (or encrypting the entire hard drive; more on that later). The files are safe as long as they are kept in the encrypted area.

There are so many different ways of encrypting data, especially in Linux. My favorite method has always been using Truecrypt as it’s relatively easy to use and extremely effective. However, if you want to encrypt individual files, having to create a new container just for them might be a little impractical, especially when they aren’t similar files.
Tools such as grep, find and awk have often come to the rescue of gleeful Bash-mongers searching for files buried beneath gigabytes of other items. But when a typical Linux distro takes up a couple of gigs of disk space, it's not hard to imagine that finding your files will only become trickier over time.
