This works if you have a single-user system, but it's not great if you
have a shared machine. I think he's asking for a file vault of some sort
where you can maintain your own home directory as encrypted separate
from the whole filesystem.

I'm not currently aware of any such mechanism in Fedora, but I'd be
interested to find out if I'm wrong.
