The majority of people who use Truecrypt aren't interested in
whole-disk encryption. Most likely they want to have an encrypted
"container" that they mount as a separate volume. It is my
understanding that the whole-disk encryption support is much better
under Windows.

I agree though, the Linux support isn't too snazzy and whole-disk
encryption is best left to LUKS etc.
