I have just installed fresh 13.04. I've chosen to encrypt the entire installation, but the installer later asked me whether I wanted to encrypt personal folder under /home. What should I choose?
Encrypting your home folder will let you have your data protected by the account's password.
If you are logged into your account you won't be asked to insert the password, but, if you want to access the files while you're logged out (with another username for example) you'll be asked for.
In my opinion I think is better to have it, with a strong password, to prevent leak of data from people who takes you HDD off and try to read data in it.
Watch out that by encrypting the home folder when you access the files in it the reading time will be a little more than having it unencrypted
