I'm interested in having an encrypted $HOME (especially since I want to carry it around on a USB flash drive), but apparently, support for encrypted $HOME was removed a while ago (I haven't been able to find any explanation as to why). What's the recommended way of doing this myself? I'm familiar with LUKS and encfs; I could also pick up eCryptFS as well.

You could make a remaster of initrd where you add some encryption, and edit tc-functions to decrypt the folder again on boot..

I'd much rather have all the files automatically encrypted, rather than doing them individually. It just makes more sense to me for encryption to be automatic and in the background.

Well, I guess if I have to, then I have to, but I was hoping that there was an easier way--for example, someone had already compiled the encryption modules or something like that. :)

I don't think so...
However the wiki have excellent guide on how to remaster. It really is no that difficult ;)
