Why? You only need to protect the data not the whole OS.  It causes too many
problems.  I don't recommend creating a headache for yourself when you only
need to protect some data.

Where the problem exists is what keeps a user from saving to the
unencrypted partition?  Sure you can have permissions that don't allow
you to save in certain places, but your going to need permissions
somewhere on the os partition.  I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I
have found that if a user can do something, they will.
