Hi Lee
sure, i still have to much of a Windows-Brain, haha. i am just fairly new  
to Linux. Thats all.
what do you mean by encrypting my files(system), i would do better work? i  
guess this are two different security issues.
encrypting means, nobody should be able to read - despite yourself.
and wiping/shredding means, nobody should be able to read/recover it by  
any means.
and third, i do not have any mess on my machine, Sir.
regards,
René
