[Trisquel-users] Re : Possibly new user. Lots of noob questions

I would advise to separate /home from /. The default partitioning would do  
that. It would also create a swap partition. You can then easily only encrypt  
the user data: the installer proposes it. Also, you can then (re)install a  
free operating system without touching those data (and then specify the  
proper mount point for /home in /etc/fstab).
