Open Source, I could drink it all day long!

My current favourite programming language has to be python. I first became interested in python when I saw that it was the scripting language within Blender, the open source 3D animation package. Since then I discovered just how powerful python can be, with web development frameworks such as Zope delivering applications like Plone, an open source content management system (CMS).

OSS - TrueCrypt

Before my leaky brain drips this information away, I was reading about TrueCrypt. It is a powerful disk encryption package and is fully Open Source. I don't think I need it myself but you never know, so I'm making a note of it here. I'd love to hear from anyone that is a user and has an opinion about it.
