Installing bootable OS on an encrypted SD?
I am new to linux, but the idea of a Linux OS I can boot from an SD card seems very convenient for my work. I understand that is possible according to this article:
pandorawiki.org/Running_Linux_from_an_SD_card
And this one, too:
linuxgeekoid.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/successfully-booting-and-installing-linux-from-a-flash-or-sd-card/
But what I want to do is have is full disk encryption on the SD card because it will be accessing banking details and sensitive financial data. I found this, concerning a similar setup on a USB card:
superuser.com/questions/87919/how-can-i-create-an-encrypted-bootable-thumbdrive-containing-linux
Is there any difference I should know about with the installation of more recent linux offerings?
I'm assuming it would be similar to this tutorial, except I want it on an SD card, not a hdd:

Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
