Linux on USB to run Skype? I look after a "public" PC in our village which is failing to run Skype on Vista Basic - lots of repeated voice snippets ("stammering" is the best description I can think of).

Disc encryption? Wotcher all, what's the favoured disc encryption system these days for linux? I thought I'd ask in here as well as poking around on the net, given that google keeps throwing 8-year-old pages at me and someone here's bound to have had a crack at it already. Wouldn't it be lovely if 8-year-old howtos would expire ... 25 Jul 2008 16:36 |
