Truecrypt seems to pretty nice, but I suggest that you look at the license before you use it (it seems to have some clauses that e.g. prevent it from being accepted in Debian).
If you're using Linux, then there's a couple of other choices you might look into, i.e. dm-crypt (which is in the vanilla kernel), loop-aes (which is very well established) and a few others. If you're not looking for file-system encryption but simply want to encrypt a folder, you can also use encfs or ecryptfs. Finally there's gnupg if all you want to encrypt is a couple of files.
