Ah - it's a Sony Vaio M - I'm just removing the gigabytes of crapware from the 
Windows 7 partition, now wondering what distro to use. It's an Intel Atom.

Whatever distro I'm persuaded to use, it needs to support encrypted partitions 
(it's for a business user as well, so nothing that looks like an explosion in 
a finger-paint factory, or anything wildy unstable).

Go on, persuade me...
