For those who found my post about encryption of USB devices interesting yesterday… you might wanna keep an eye on this one which I stumbled upon it today. A feature request for the next Ubuntu release, Feisty Fawn:
Today I went to the Linuxforum BOF day where I attended a session about encrypting your personal files. This made me remember a post read some time ago (check out the screen cast). I guessed that this functionality would be in Ubuntu Edgy by now so I just went ahead and tried to make my USB pen drive encrypted.
Well I couldn’t make my Atheros (ath0) work as a bridged network with VMware… but I made a workaround which I want to share with you guys. Anyways I’ll have it documented if I cant remember what I did later on. I have installed VMware on my Ubuntu laptop and a edgy-alternative (server) as a guest OS within VMware. The way I did this was making my laptop into a router between the “VMware host only” net and my wireless net.
Through the last week I have played around with CoovaAP on my Linksys WRT54GL… I was just too curious to try it out after my colleague Tomas told me about it :D CoovaAP is a slightly customized version of OpenWRT to make it easy to setup a wireless HotSpot like the one you can connect to on cafés, hotels and such.
