+1, I got it now. AES is actually secure enough, that it'll be safe forever provided mathematics don't completely vanish and the laws of physics still apply (and your key-length is sufficient).

Still, I prefer not to encrypt the file, since the passphrases either have to be written down or remembered, both of which aren't exactly ideal (Think brain hemorrhage, which I definitely plan to get one of these days).

Also, newbs can barely handle Ubuntu.

I was a newb once... in 2005 Roll Eyes

In all seriousness, this discussion has me reassessing the security of every part of my systems and the networks they connect to.
