Yeah, there are crypting programs in Linux (was "crypt" one of them?), XFCE offers the command in it's file manager by default. So all you needed to do was to set up your mount so when you mount a script is run that decrypts the directory and when umounted, crypts it..

Yes I think it's quite possible. You need to do some work for it, maybe, but it's possible. And perhaps not even difficult..the "difficult" part is just how you make the script be run at mount/umount. But even for that there are multiple solutions..

If you take the fact that not being able to look at files could be dealt with setting the right permissions (except root of course) then you could use FUSE/EncFS. It's quite transparent only mount /umount needed. BTW, there *is* Bestcrypt for Linux AFAIK... And please try to type well-formatted plain english.
