Recommended alternative to truecrypt for containers on Linux?

I read about truecrypt being abandoned and possible backdoors in the current version. I like to have an encrypted container for private files on my laptop. I do not want to have an entire encrypted partition there. What is a recommended alternative to truecrypt for containers that is supported and secure?

I use tcplay.

  • Recommended sound card for Oracle Redhat Linux 64 bit?

    Dear Experts,
    I'm trying to install the latest Oracle Redhat 5.
    64 bit. On a certified Asus motherboard.
    It will be a dual boot windows/Linux machine.
    And I'm having an awful time with the sound card for my new server.
    (It will be used for learning, at home. It's important to
    have sound for some instructional videos that I will also watch.)
    Other installs, sound has installed and worked fine.
    I believe it's partially because the sound came directly off
    the motherboard in those cases.
    But with this new server, it came with a sound card, no onboard.
    The sound card works with windows. But not with Linux.
    I've been swapping three sound cards in and out, trying to get
    one to work. Each has some partial success, but none meet all
    of the requirements (below).
    What is really frustrating is that I want the sound to go
    to the green headphone jack on the front of the computer case.
    To do this, there is a cable that connects the sound card, to
    the front of the chassis.
    The existing sound card that I have, has a connector for this.
    It is an "HD audio", or an AC 97 connector. There two rows of
    five pins, with one pin blocked up, so that the connector is
    inserted in the correct manner. The cord is hard wired to the case.
    You can see some images of the pins and the cords here:

    http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27289176
    You would figure that whether the connector existed or not would be a standard
    feature that would be listed for sound cards. But it's rare to find it listed anywhere.
    When I went to the computer store, I had to open all the boxes to see if it
    was there or not!!!! Manufacturers, this is not that difficult!!
    At this point, after a couple of days of struggle, I just want to buy a
    simple sound card that works right out of the box.
    Here are the requirements:
    - gets instantly recognized by Linux (Oracle Redhat 5) 64 bit, and plays sound
    with the standard Linux drivers. I believe I have all of the drivers installed,
    because a few cards do play with them automatically. During installation, I
    installed Every package available.
    - no installation of special Linux drivers required.
    - the other big requirment is that the card have output to an HD Audio,
    or AC 97 connector, and will play music through the headphone jack.
    (Believe it or not, I have one card that works fine out the back,
    but won't work through the HD Audio. But it works fine in Windows)
    - will also work with Windows 64 bit.
    Does anyone have any good sound card recommendations that will meet all these requirements?
    Thanks a lot!

    Almost a year later... what have you been listening too? :-)
    I have to admit that I'm not an expert for "sound" under Linux. I think you may find http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page interesting. It also shows which sound cards are compatible.
    ALSA is pretty much standard under Linux and stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Together with pulse-audio it provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system and is, by default, also included in RHEL and other descendants. You can install pulseaudio support using the EPEL repository following the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
    wget rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
    sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
    yum list alsa* pulseaudio*
    Loaded plugins: downloadonly, rhnplugin, security
    This system is not registered with ULN.
    ULN support will be disabled.

    Dear Alvaro
    Thank you for your response.
    The current status
    When I entered HP ACU from bootable Smart Start CD, I found under the configuration of Smart Array P410i in Embedded Slot, the following:
    -Smart Array P410i in Embedded Slot
    ---Internal Drive Cage at Port 1I : Box 1
    ------300 GB 2-Part SAS Drive at Part 1I : Box 1 : Bay 1

    --- Logical Drive 2 (24.0 GB, RAID 0) ---> for SWAP
    --- Logical Drive 3 (200.0 GB, RAID 1+0) ---> for ASM DATA
    --- Logical Drive 4 (296.7 GB, RAID 1+0) ---> for ASM FRA
    SAS Array B - 1 Logical Drive(s)
    --- Logical Drive 5 (1.1 TB, RAID 0) ---> for non-critical applications and sources
    2) What are your recommendations for the following steps to reach oracle apex 4.2 installed?
    Best Regards

  • Prefered filesystem for 11g on linux

    Is there a white paper/best practices that recommends the best file system to use for 11g on linux? any document/note numbers would be appreciated.
    cheers,
    M.

    so you say that if it's fact that ntfs is faster then ext2 / ext3 /ext4.
    first of all,i dont want to start a flamewar about filesystems/os, but it would be nice to have some facts with such statement you make.
    second, the question is about linux and filesystems. so your remark about ntfs is useless
    performance tests of different filesystems:
    http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1765
    windows 7 ntfs vs ext4 ubuntu
    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODIxNw
    "On average, Ubuntu 10.04 atop the EXT4 file-system with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel was 26.5% faster than Windows 7 x64 with its NTFS file-system. "

  • How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

    How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
    I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
    Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

    You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
    I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
    The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

  • ...recommended system & hardware requirements for clients P6 8.2 Clien&Webs

    What are the recommended system & hardware requirements for clients P6 Professional and Client Web for P6 8.2 ???
    I need to know the recommended systems & hardware requirements for clients P6 Professional and Client Web for P6 8.2
    I mean what kind of processor, memory ram minimum and maximus to run or to deploy P6 Professional Client from P6 8.2 version and the requeriments to run the P6 8.2 Web application.
    I need like a chart (not necesary) with the most common configuration with hardware and software like the example below
         SO     Ram     Hdd     Processor
    P6 Professional 8,2     Windows Xp Sp3     4 Gb     2 Gb +     Core2Duo 1,8 +
         Oracle Linux     4 Gb     3 Gb     Core2Duo 1,6 +
    P6 Web 8,2     Windows Xp Sp3     4 Gb     2 Gb +     Core2Duo 1,8 +
         Oracle Linux     4 Gb     3 Gb     Core2Duo 1,6 +
    Because all information I saw it´s about Server (Database, Server Application and others) and not very clever about P6 8.2 Client and P6 8.2 Web.

    I haven't seen PC requirements for a Win workstation per se either. Here are the only 8.2 client requirements I can find.
    Supported Configurations for Client Modules
    For Clients Accessing P6
     Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8, IE 9, Firefox 8+, Safari 5.1.x+, Chrome 15+
     Sun JRE (the required version will install automatically with P6); Always install the latest supported patch update with security fixes
     TCP/IP network protocol
    For Clients Accessing P6 Progress Reporter
     IE 8, IE 9, Firefox 8+, Safari 5.1.x+, Chrome 15+
     Sun JRE (the required version will install automatically with P6 Progress Reporter);
    Always install the latest supported patch update with security fixes
     TCP/IP network protocol
     Optional software:

    I cannot afford an iMac, can anyone recommend a widescreen Monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro.  It will be used mainly for iPhoto and Aperture.  TF

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

  • Using Oracle driver in JDBC for Unix and Linux based servers

    Please, let me know how to mention the Oracle driver within the forName.class(" "); statement in the Jdbc-Servlet for Unix and Linux based servers.
    I'm using Windows-OS for Java programming. Should I have to use the same environment(Unix/Linux with Oracle) for compiling or just compiling, mentioning the driver in the java program would suffice?
    Please, Help me.
    Thank You.
    from,

    I've used Oracle's thin driver like this:
    Class.forName ( "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" );
    Connection DBConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:USER/PASSWD@database" );
    You need Oracles client classes ( e.g. classes111.zip ) at run time, not during compilation.
    Thin client connects directly to the Oracle DB, so the database description is like PORT:MACHINE:SID
    Connection is made through Oracle's listener even when your DB is in the same machine that your program is running. Port number is propably 1521 or 1526, depending on your listener.ora definitions and used Oracle SQL*Net version.

    rather lengthy and the rows tend to blend in with eachother.

    Thanks Epulfy. I am going to give this a try later today.
    Much appreciated
    EDIT:: This does work. however I'm not sure how to set a
    rectangle to the background of the report so it's behind my
    details. I draw the rectangle and it just hides whatever I want to
    display. When I look at the report it does alternate with rows, but
    I can only see details from the rows that it does not alternate on.
    Any clue how to set it to the background?

  • Hey experts, need your recommendation on Hardware Infrastructure for PT 8.5

    Hi,
    One of my clients asked me to recommend Hardware Infrastructure details for the following load/traffic
    1.Development Environment: 100-300+ concurrent connection (Work station connections)
    2.Prod Server : 20,000+ End user concurrent connections (web connections)
    Recommending amazon services is good option?

    1.Development Environment: 100-300+ concurrent connection (Work station connections)Whether you may have 100-300 developpers, which seems to me quite high, are you really sure you'll have simultaneous 100-300+ developpers onto the database ? And are you sure they will all develop onto the same database (would be strange to me) ?
    2.Prod Server : 20,000+ End user concurrent connections (web connections)Same question, whether you may have 20,000 end users, are you really sure they all will be connected at the same time (simultaneously) ?
    Bear in mind, if you have the application available for users around the world, some may sleep when others may work, that dramatically can reduce the simultaneous connections.
