oops after writing that i realized i should probably let you know what iv found out already. 1) I could install the ubuntu normally then setup an encrypted partition, but my problem with this is that i would have to type in two password one to login one to access the partition id like to keep password to a minimum. 2) I could use an older version then follow the tutorials on using that one, I don't know if they are transferable to the new version? and if not i don't want to risk having some big security holes but mainly i like new shiny toys and wanted to the the latest and greatest. Again im going to apologize for two posts in a row but Ive always felt that editing to add new content was like lying maybe that's just me :/

Hi I'm a long time viewer since the 1x1 episodes, and its a damn great show! Onto the meat of the subject i have recently decided id like to try Ubuntu but due to recent circumstances i don't have much time to be playing around with a new OS while at home I'm doing HSC currently and i have to do work pretty consistently while at home. But i figured that i could make a bootable usb ubuntu and boot off that so i can play around when i have more spare time at school during my computers class since we rarely learn anything. But when i tried to create a usb Ubuntu with the latest 8.10 there wasn't much room for doing anything other than just putting the iso straight onto the usb, I would like to keep my data secure so i would like to know if there is some way to set up a bootable root encrypted Ubuntu on usb, I found some articles on the matter but most were very vague or very old so before trying something that might not work i figured i would see if i could scrounge up some help. :D p.s. I'm aware its very bad manners for the first post to be a question but i promise i wont ditch as soon as i get an answer iv been meaning to create an account for a while.
