Do I need to to decrypt the home partition before I move, or does CentOS support the encryption methods that Ubuntu uses? Hopping between Ubuntu distros is no problem at all, but I think I might have problems with this.

  • yes, but after installing, will CentOS know this drive is encrypted and needs to be decrypted before use

  • during the install process, it seems oblivious to that fact

  • If it's a separate partition you can alter how it is mounted. See evilshit.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/…
