I don't know which is the "best" encrypting file system for MS-DOS. I
currently use Peter Gutmann's SFS, and am very happy with it. I have used
SecureDevice (from Max Loewenthal and Arthur Helwig) in the past, and
found it painfully slow on my 25MHz 386SX. I also know of Mike Ingle's
SecureDrive, but I have not used it. SFS and SecureDrive require a
separate partition. SecureDevice uses a container file instead of a
separate partition.
You also asked about Linux. I think that Matt Blaze's CFS would work
there, but I don't know.
