As it's not been explicitly said:  review any cryptocurrency services you're into;  even the Bitcoin core wallet requires a security update:  https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.1

Linux Mint is also out since it does not support full disk encryption, despite users requesting it for a year.

The latest releases of Linux Mint; versions 14 & 15 do support full disk encryption, you just need to upgrade the installer before initiating the installation process, and that's dead simple:

1. Download and save your desired version of Linux Mint as a bootable CD or USB stick, and boot it up.
2. Open a terminal and issue the commands:

sudo apt-get remove ubiquity

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ubiquity

sudo ubiquity  

The installer will now offer the option to install with full disk encryption 

You know; I just have to chime in on this and say also: I love AirVPN
