You can hide an entire filesystem in a container file (encrypted even) and just mount it when you want to access it.<br><br>And *that* is why Linux is better than Windows. :oKarstenMon, 21 Jan 2008 04:02:38 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/the_startup_sound_in_vista_8230/#comment-9650582Regarding the sound on the Mac startup.... it is not the same as what some people are comenting here.<br><br>That sound comes out of the system speaker only. I run a pro setup using an Echo Layla 24/96 for sound in/out. The Mac startup sound, which is easily disabled, only happens from the system speaker, and *never* from the configured sound devices other than that system speaker. The Mac treats the bootup sound like the PC does the "beep" when the bios kicks in.<br><br>In other words, there is no chance the system startup sound will blow the neighbors away at 140 db on the Mac, because it only goes through the small speaker on the case, and it is disablable. Hell you could cut that speaker wire if you are using a sound card anyway!<br><br>This windows (alta)Vista thing... if I had to hear my computer play some stupid noise every time I booted it... I would boot it to the sidewalk and never use it again. But it will have to wait to be seen if it goes only out the system speaker, or if it goes out the sound card. If it is just the system speaker, I'm sure you know how wire cutters work.KarstenFri, 01 Sep 2006 03:28:40 -0000
