Thanks to Michael Shuler
for this announcement.

VPDisk.com has made its flagship Virtual Private Disk product
available on the Linux platform, and is pleased to announce free
copies to the first 1000 users.

“VPDisk,” said product manager Michael Shuler, “allows users to
transparently access encrypted files as if they were in the
clear…” “And user transparency,” continued Michael, “is just the
beginning. VPDisk is based on a patented design that makes it
transparent to the administrators, to the filesystems, networks,
and even to the operating system itself.”

“I was blown away by its easiness,” said Loc Tran who tried
VPDisk the first time. “The software loads itself to the system and
instantly makes encryption-on-the-fly to work on existing files.”
“It was so easy, I learned to use VPDisk in five minutes, and it
was the first time I really feel safe about the (file)
protection.”

VPDisk is avaliable for Sun Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD
platforms. Free evaluation copy available to download from the
website. Visit http://www.vpdisk.com for details.
