Actually, I knew that it *could* work on any provider. I did read the
manpage. :-) What I wanted to know is where I *should* make it work on.
Basicly speaking, I'm not sure if I like the idea of the partition table
being encrypted too because the risk of losing data seems to be higher
this way. Or am I just paranoid?

More info in the manpage ist always positive. :-)

Cheers!
