Ubuntu's next generation of Linux distribution includes eCryptfs, a kernel-based cryptographic file system. This new feature provides users with the ability to have encrypted subdirectories, giving them the much needed boost in securing their data. However, if you cannot wait for the next Ubuntu release, then Tombuntu provides us with a short how-to in installing and using eCryptfs on 8.04. So, if you are that paranoid about encrypting your data, hurry and use this. :)
