For a “newbie” or those new to Linux, one option is to use a Linux Live CD which allows you to start and use Linux from a CD.

TrueCrypt is a free and open source encryption software. With minimal effort, you can quickly configure TrueCrypt to encrypt your data. Why should you configure your data?

USB drives are easy to lose, and stolen computer hardware is not an uncommon occurrence.
