Cool, is sure better than nothing! I use to play with TrueCrypt a while
ago (when I still needed a Windows desktop... quite forgotten dark
ages); the very good thing in the ecryptfs approach is that cryptography
it is very usable (not just for geeks people like Haiku early adopters
:-P) and could be interesting for consultancy businesses.
I mean, if I can safely tell (my clients) "look, this OS is great, and
keeps your data safe by default too!" could be a supplementary boost for
adoption.
