Hey, Ubuntu users! If you haven't encrypted your hard drive, you should! An unencrypted hard drive makes it easy for someone to compromise your system when it's left unattended.

If you're using your computer for work, you should be even more careful to protect the information on your computer. In this tutorial, we'll cover how to encrypt your hard drive.
