I'm starting a new job that requires full drive encryption for me to use my own computer. My new job will require telecommuting so I have to try to meet my new bosses security or I have to learn Windows again, I hate Microshaft so that is not an option. So here is the question...
Looking for better security and getting ready to re-install Ubuntu 14.04 with full encryption on the hard drive. I was told that I might want to install the boot sector onto a USB Drive for better security. Is this really the best way to do it? How big of a drive should I use for the boot? Once booted can I remove the drive after booting into Ubuntu and put the boot USB up till needed or till updates are done?
Or is there something I'm missing that is easier for the security. Yes my boss is paranoid about letting a Ubuntu computer any where near his network.
