VeraCrypt Update
Thank you for your article on VeraCrypt.
There were two important omissions from your article.
First: VeraCrypt is available on a PPA, so installing on Ubuntu or any Debian system is a breeze. Add the repository to your repositories, update, and install VeraCrypt.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/encryption
sudo apt update
sudo apt install veracrypt
Second: VeraCrypt has a facility to convert TrueCrypt volumes (but not, sadly, partitions) to VeraCrypt. Obviously, you want to back up your volume before doing so in case something goes wrong (e.g. a power failure), but you would be recommended to use the VeraCrypt format rather than TrueCrypt specifically because the former is more secure.
By the way, VeraCrypt comes with a proper man page, unlike TrueCrypt.

Ubuntu After Install
I've been reading your magazine for some time now, and find that it keeps adding to my Ubuntu knowledge. After a recent 15.04 install, I was working through setting it up and came across this great little piece of software that I think deserves a bit of promotion: Ubuntu After Install (https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-after-install). It worked flawlessly on my 64-bit install, even though it's still in beta. It loads a whole bunch of essential PPAs, then installs the software. You get to select what you don't want, but their choices are pretty much what you would want anyway.
