Why go to TrueCrypt when LUKS is built in to CentOS?
IIRC the only partition that can't be encrypted with LUKS is /boot, perhaps use TrueCrypt there if
you KNOW they are out to get you. TrueCrypt is also useful if you need to share a partition with
certain Non-Unix operating systems.
You do need to select the LUKS encryption when you do the CentOS install.
