>The installer used by Ubuntu made this completely manual, roll up your sleeves, set all your volumes up in the terminal. It took ages and was precarious as hell. The Ubuntu installer has been capable of doing disk encryption for several years now, so I'm confused what you mean by this.

I think Ubuntu only makes this easy if you wipe windows. This was an install alongside Windows.

I tried to do the same recently - the roadblock (I recall) having is that encrypting the entire disk is very easy. Encrypting none of an individual partition is very easy. Encrypting just your Ubuntu install and not breaking your windows install is dramatically less plug'n'play.

  I'll have to try that when I get home. I seem to remember that being covered, but I may be thinking of Fedora.

  Yep, exactly this is what I meant.
