TrueCrypt is a great solution for full disk encryption. Very secure,

Except that it's not full disk encryption, it's container

It's a great, free product, just not what the OP is asking about. It may
be unsuitable as a substitute due to things like swap and config file
"leakage", and lack of pre-boot authentication.
