Your folders and files (documents, images, videos...) or your whole

That depends on you. You can encrypt the whole hard disk or just a bunch 
of files you want to protect and keep safe.

I would avoid using TrueCrypt in Linux. For newcomers using the given 
tools provided by your DE are an easier and better solution. OTOH, I 
would first start by encrypting a pile of folders and files to get in 
touch with the encryption stuff.
