I tried the encrypted home directory and ran into problems with SSH to
that box via ssh keys. Which makes sense - the keys are encrypted and
can't be read until you login. But you can't login without the keys...
Guess it would make sense for a desktop that will be unlikely to be
connected TO via ssh. Either that or I missed a step somewhere.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 now with an encrypted drive. The install
process was pretty straight forward and everything is working as
expected (with a new *buntu install - sound issues, data migration,
etc.) I still want to encrypt a drive manually from the command line
just to learn the details, but the docs I've seen are old (2007ish or
earlier) and make a lot of assumptions about base knowledge making the
docs difficult to read.

For truecrypt

Truecrypt also has an option for a secret hidden OS
On Ubuntu you can do it at install if you use the alternate install
CD. I used this a couple of times and it worked well. The encrypted
home directory is what I use now. The one issue is that if you have a
slight issue with your hard drive, and I mean slight, all the data is
pretty much toast. It does not even have to be a bad disk, just a
wrong bit flipped at the wrong time which happens more than you think
on modern hard drives. If done right data recovery is not possible.
