GNOME can remember your password and automatically decrypt it whenever its plugged on your system.

Careful when following those instructions, because if you supply the wrong device, you may wipe your hard drive clean

Fanen Ahua Random quote: I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. -- Johnny Mnemonic, by William Gibson
