PGP Disk_ x_ Linux solution??

Hi list,

soon I should make a consultancy in a customer, but before I would like to hear other opinions, or that somebody puts me in the direction from good articles about this.

The company ´s director uses PGP-Disk to protect their personal data locally, and now he asks if he is really secure with this!

well, he works with a old version, the 'PGPfreeware602i', under W2K.


My questions:

1 - How secure the community consider the new PGP-Disk version, with Twofish 256 bit? 2 - A Linux based solution, with crypt filesystem would be a good choice? Remember, only he can access the files, no admins allowed ;-) 3 - Is there a independent cryptdisc project under Linux based systems?(like PGP)

Thank´s a lot
Julio
