Why crypt?

• Because your 4 triple core CPUs are sitting idle, even when running a compiz 3D X setup with dancing windows without accelerated 3D :)

• Because if you can't remember the key, you probably didn't really need to get to that information anymore :)

• Because a bad byte on your disk will make sure a good portion of your filesystem goes with it, or if partition magic can't resize an encrypted partition, it must therefore be more secure :)
