Encrypted file system?

I have switched from BL to MX Linux because it offers the encryption of the whole file system asking the password at boot.
Was wondering if it was possible to do something similar in BL.

Re: Encrypted file system?

The Debian Installer - which BL uses - does offer to set up encryption at the beginning of the installation process, and I have that on a laptop I use. But, the /boot partition is left unencrypted, because at that time grub did not support encryption. That might possibly have changed with the latest installer.
