In a similar vein, the Linux version sucks. ;)

OS encryption (it's not wholedisk) isn't even implemented. That's not a
huge problem because Linux has native counterparts, but it would have
been nice.

There's also a cute new GUI, but you can't get around it as far as I can
tell. So if you're running Truecrypt on a remote machine via ssh or
what not, you'd better have GTK installed and X forwarding enabled or
you're screwed until you downgrade. Reminds me of that damned GnuPG2
pinentry crap. <grrrrrr>

They also changed the sequence of passwords, at least on my Debian box
(the only place I've tried it so far). Threw me off the first time. I
thought my volumes were no longer compatible. ;)
