The ubuntu Howto seems just to talk about a 'cryptolooped' fs. But today
there's a mutch cleaner solution using dm-crypt. The dm-crypt module needed 
is already included in the default ubuntu-Kernel.

Just install cryptsetup and read:

* /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/CryptoRoot.HowTo
* http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/
* http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php

It's easy ... ;-)
