I use encfs for encrypting a directory in home (but not all of home). It's a FUSE thing. Pretty straightforward. I only unencrypt it when I want to work with the encrypted directory. This is nice since the easiest way to get around encrypted files is to steal the laptop when it's still on and the files decrypted. I just looked it up, it uses OpenSSL... guess I should re-encrypt everything since I think I created it with Kubuntu (perhaps too early to be affected though).
