  A lot of institutions use Linux, I think your idea is a good one.

        I've been doing a lot of work with Linux whole-partition encryption
lately. If you'd like me to write up a primer for the resource page, let
me know and I'll see what I can do. I know it's sort of an odd subject,
but I've already got the notes and I didn't see anything about it when I
scanned the resource page.
