Look at LUKS or dmcrypt. You can encrypt your entire machine if you
want to, or just create a separate volume to store your sensitive
stuff in. From that you can also glean that you can encrypt /home.

Truecrypt is (technically) non-free, and the whole-disk encryption
support on Linux is sub-par by comparison. If you can live with using
non-free kit, the abillity to create encrypted container volumes is
quite nice if you don't want to go down the route of having to encrypt
entire partitions.
