Someone might correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I dont not believe you can use TrueCrypt to do full disk encryption on Linux (yet). That is where dm-crypt shines and works straight out of the box. You can create multiple keys to "unlock" the disk for backdoors or multiple users.
I use a combination of TrueCrypt and dm-crypt. dm-crypt on my laptop to protect my data if the laptop gets stolen, and TrueCrypt volume/file to protect data in transit between my laptop and desktop.
