I would also like to learn about encrypting partitons or folders and about secure communications.

I can show SparkyLinux running on my test laptop. I am running the rolling LXQT Home edition based on Debian Testing.��

Pro: �� Fast, uses minimal resources.

�� Full range of Debian applications in versions almost on a par with the latest Ubuntu. Also third party applications.

Cons: Lots of updates, about 1GB per month if you keep it up to date.

�� I can't find an easy way to edit the man menu.

Any suggestions?

Ian mentioned some half-baked business with encrypting your home directory.

Quick show and tell of some non-mainstream distros?

Cheers, Peter
