I don't know which is the "best" encrypting file system for MS-DOS. I currently use Peter Gutmann's SFS, and am very happy with it. I have used SecureDevice (from Max Loewenthal and Arthur Helwig) in the past, and found it painfully slow on my 25MHz 386SX. I also know of Mike Ingle's SecureDrive, but I have not used it. SFS and SecureDrive require a separate partition. SecureDevice uses a container file instead of a separate partition. You also asked about Linux. I think that Matt Blaze's CFS would work there, but I don't know. --apb (Alan Barrett)
