Greetings all from a Linux newbie (but otherwise veteran geek). I'll be looking into this kind of question myself, and when I searched on "linux" from the PGP corporate site they appear to be hiring to expand their offerings to this OS. Good. Having been a Mac user for over a decade I encrypt all the important stuff with PGPdisk on OS 9.2.2. If there's a more secure consumer-available method of [virtual] disk encryption I haven't found it. I'm impressed by MDK 10.0, (and hoping a PPC version will arrive soon) but I'll be hard-pressed to give up something that is so stable and reliable (assuming of course that there are no keystroke loggers or spyware on my machine and Big Brother has no interest in my boring files, because I assume they can probably crack anything PGP puts out whether they admit it or not -- and I don't use virtual memory). As for trusting OS X with such a task, well, I don't trust it yet, even if there is an OS X version of PGP's latest. Especially not after this week's advisories (sheesh!). Cheers, S.
