As a female user of free software, I have to say that being treated without prejudices is rare in IT communities, integration is difficult and surely this kind of behaviour does not help. >How-To-Repeat: man geli >Fix: 1# Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your partner and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if he/she forgets his/her passphrase): 2# Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your partner and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if the partner forgets his/her passphrase): >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
