Fedora allows you to do whole partition/volume encryption with the 
installer very easily.  The last time I tried Ubuntu (a couple years 
ago), there was an option for "private" home directories.  It would 
create an encrypted volume for your home directory that was keyed to 
your password.  It would then get unlocked and mounted when you logged 
in.  Fedora does something closer to WDE.
