Transparent Encryption for home directory in Ubuntu
Originally published 2008/11/14
Now I have Ubuntu-eee on my EeePC I have been experimenting with encryption in case I leave it lying around. Apart from having to manually sync all my .dotfiles and .dotdirectories because the instructions failed to account for that it appears to have been easy and painless.

Several weeks on and I am still happy with it - I have noticed no problems with corruption or performance.
