I'm not sure what value of stable you want, I've been using 2.6.0-test1 (ac?) with crypto since it came out. Clearly there are a lot of things missing before 2.6 is ready for general use, but it sure is nice to have that filesystem protected. The crypto seems stable, as long as that's the main thing you do with the box. I hope we can get the control of key length back, while I doubt that anyone who actually could break the default is going to be involved in anything I do, I'd like to see it for future applications. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
