I’ve been using openSUSE for 3 years now and it’s been the most reliable distribution I’ve used so far.
I’m using openSUSE on a Dell laptop, partly for work. Disk encryption is a must to me, especially after a colleague’s laptop got stolen and he had to deal with the consequences of identity theft and stolen work (song blueprints).
I’ve had my /home partition encrypted with LUKS and so far I’m happy with it.
Recently I came across this article in the openSUSE wiki:
Encrypted Root File System - openSUSE which explains the
importance of addtional encryption of /root and /swap.
I was very happy to see that 11.0 apparently will include support of encrypted /root partitions:
However, as far as I know, none of these strategies support suspending/hibernation yet, which is an important feature to me as it makes working with a laptop much more comfortable.
Yet, I came across Fedora 9, which includes a convenient way of fully encrypting your drive and even hibernate and wake-up (using an encrypted LVM).
My Question therefore: Are there any plans to include full disk encryption into the next openSUSE? Especially with suspend/hibernate support?
