TrueCrypt 5.0 Released, Now Encrypts Entire Drive 330
A funny little man writes "The popular open source privacy tool, TrueCrypt, has just received a major update. The most exciting new feature provides the ability to encrypt an entire drive, prompting the user for a password during boot up; this makes TrueCrypt the perfect tool for non-technical laptop users (the kind who are likely to lose all of that sensitive customer data). The Linux version receives a GUI and independence from the kernel internals, and a Mac version is at last available too."

Of course, then your BIOS isn't encrypted, so you encrypt it and need another one below that to decrypt it, but then that bottom one isn't encrypted.
It's encrypted boot code all the way down!
