BitLocker equivalent for Mac OS X...TrueCrypt?
Hey all,
I'm used to be able to lock down all of my hard drives with Windows 7's BitLocker drive encryption system. I know that there is TrueCrypt as well, but I actually liked BitLocker better.
What do you guys use for OS X? TrueCrypt also supports OS X, which is great, but I find the UI a bit disorganized. Is there anything else we can use for our Mac's to encrypt and password-protect our data, including everything from individual files to the entire hard drive?
Thanks a lot!

You can also store your pr0n on a password protected disk image, made via Apps->Utilities->Disk Utility.
This prevents them from being indexed via spotlight, so if your mom is looking for pics from an "amateur cream pie" baking contest she took, shocking pics don't show up in the results.
Both are built into OS X.
