As far as I know, FDE works on the hardware level, it should be completely transparent to the OS
When you start the machine, you get to enter a password for the encryption. If it is correct, it will then work just like a normal unencrypted drive. If it is incorrect, you will not be able to use the drive (even to the point where you can't even install over what was originally there)
So the question of linux support should be moot

Yeah the problem is that sacrificing 40 Gb, given my bunch of music would be a bit "hard" for me. So given what's written in the link provided by Jan and what Andres says it just comes down to setting up a password in BIOS (the page also says it's multiplatform) So seems that it shouldn't be a bid deal, right? Thank you all guys really much for your help!
