i just installed a new Linux distro on my laptop and decided to use encryption on the /home partition. what i want to know is, if Linux ever fails to boot, are there any other programs i can use to access the encrypted partition if i were to install it in another computer?

hard drive encryption relies on a key to decrypt. so long as you don't lose said key, a similar linux distro with the same encryption software will still work.
dunno if there's any software avaiable for non-linux installs to access an encrypted linux partition. hard enough to view an unencrypted linux partition as it is.
