I didn't try it myself, but I think the most popular solution is
dmcrypt, which allows you to encrypt everything, even your root and swap
partition. I have been told Debian supports this very well, e.g. there
are setup scripts and init-scripts which should make it work almost
out-of-the-box. There should be plenty of HOWTOs on the net and in the
package itself.
