Are there any nice full disk encryption systems for Linux? (How-To's would

Are you doing a fresh install or planning to encrypt an existing OS?
I'm sure others do too, but I know for sure Ubuntu and Centos have
options for full disk encryption on install. I believe Ubuntu requires
the alternate-install disk. I've only done http installs for Centos,
so I can't say for

You could make a backup (using a portable format, such as tar, rather than an
image backup), remove the existing filesystem, install the encrypted
filesystem, and then restore the backed-up data.
