Let me clear this: the perfect storm of hacks *and* lost/stolen
devices with private patient information appears to have led to
changes at our institution. I guess these got our IT and lawyers to
get religion on data security. Obviously, encryption won't protect
against hacking.<br>
<br>
That out of the way, nobody has encrypted linux machines?<br>

At the risk of hijacking the thread, is the other type of "safety"
considered? Our university is cutting net access to unencrypted
computers, after now-publicized hacks originating from a foreign
country. They do not seem to understand or know solutions for
encrypting linux machines (they are also banishing XP; all FPLCs
may have to come offline!).<br>
<br>
So, to cut to the chase, does anyone run RHEL/CentOS/Scientific
Linux on encrypted disks? I am assuming dm-crypt with LUKS would
be the way to go, and I would appreciate to hear about how easy it
is to set it up and maintain. Can this be done without wiping
clean the system? We are not system admins, and don't want to be.
Otherwise, we may be forced to switch entirely to Macs (a Mac OS X
Server as our SBGrid server?).<br>

<div>I'm not sure about this - we have definitely
found some distributions to be easier to support
than others, even just compiling Phenix from
source. My advice would be to stick to
distributions derived from RedHat (i.e. Fedora,
RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux) or Ubuntu,
simply because we will go out of our way to
ensure that the binary Phenix installers work on
these. (They also have Coot binaries.) That
doesn't mean other distributions are necessarily
unsuitable, but the software support may be
patchier.</div>

<div>I can't remember what CCP4 builds on, but I
would be surprised if it doesn't support at
least the same OSes.</div>
