Well, if I had such sensitive and critical data that I needed to hide my
operating system then it would probably be worthwhile tradeoff.

Considering that truecrypt works on Linux and Mac OS and that Linux has a
lot of encryption options available to it, and the filesystem is opensource
as well as the bootloader and the rest of the OS, I'm surprised that it
isn't a supported operating system for this.

Maybe it changes too fast.
