encrypting your whole drive with truecrypt is easy. they have a wizard guide specifically for doing it

its unecessary for me, i prefer just keeping a small 10gig folder that everything i want encrypted is in. but its easy to do. just takes awhile. and you get prompted for a password shortly after the BIOS

and it didnt effect performance at all for me. might on a gaming computer, but on a laptop with a linux distro, there is no change in performace

It can be done. You'll need to install it before you install linux though. I used to have a second hand apple that had the hard drive encrypted. You entered a password before the OS booted up. It would take for ever to unencrypt everything before the OS even booted up though. I don't remember the software, so you'll have to search the web. It was redundant IMO though.

nope. not with truecrypt at least. its a simple process, and you dont lose data unless something goes catastrophically wrong

It's easy to do a full disk encryption on linux, a lot of distributions offer you the option to do it from the beginning.

There's a kernel module & File system container called LUKS & LVM. I can't remember the specifics off of the top of my head, but it wasn't particularly difficult to set up.

This thread inspired me to repartition my SSD and install Ubuntu... and now for some reason Windows 7 doesn't appear in the boot menu, so I have to figure out some way to fix that.




Update: this fixed itself on its own somehow. I hadn't restarted the computer in quite a while, and when I did a little bit earlier, Windows now appears as an option in the Ubuntu boot menu. I'm getting used to using Ubuntu full time though.
