What about dmcrypt?
BTW the programs are GPL licensed, Why would you rob it when you can download it! And you can not even rob it like that. You would have to violate the GPL to rob the software, that mean you would have to modify it and redistribute without the source!
IMO it makes absolutely no sense to crypt the programs (root partition). You loose performance for nothing.
Now the home can be mounted with dmcrypt, which is easy to setup mandriva-way and this USB key is Mandriva 2008, which is IMO the easiest distro to date.
