Is there a way to specify different directories for the wallet.dat and the block chain database, so you could store the wallet.dat on a truecrypt volume and the block chain unencrypted?

That had been proposed, but has not been implemented.

You can create a symlink to the wallet.dat on the truecrypt volume though.

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

I would use the default Linux encryption program; not Trucrypt.
Why?

Note that TrueCrypt volumes can be easily backed up: simply copy or upload the container file. This is safe (even on non-secure remote storage) because a TrueCrypt container is already secure by nature.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Why?
Because Truecrypt doesn't come with Linux and has to be installed separately, using its own installation method separate from the distribution's packaging system. It's quite a hassle for just encrypting one file, when there are more standardized solutions bundled with the distribution, ready to use.
