I just hope they can start integrating this stuff into GMail, so that when I'm not using my laptop and rather using GMail's excellent web interface I can enjoy the same key signing as I do here. The really cool thing about all this is that when I used Windows and (GASP) Outlook (not for long - I couldn't stand its overpowering bloatedness) the only way to sign or encrypt was with a key issued from some massive corporation or the Post Office. $15. I didn't need it that bad, so I didn't get it. Here, with the GPG stuff, it's free! This is so cool... If I'm ever able I'll try hosting a keyserver too, though that'll happen only when I have the raw bandwidth to do so : ( I use Mozilla mail. I like it because I can right click on links and open them in tabs. It comes in handy since I help on some forums too. I'll have to work on this one day. I'm disabled and have health problems, which is driving me nuts right now. Plus my girlfriend decided to go mud riding in her Dad's big truck, read that as she had a wreck and broke some ribs. Throw in two kids and I am having a good bit of fun right now. My lady has cable modem. zoom zoom zoom. I get about 1.5MB/sec here, especially late at night. On dial-up my emerge sync took about 45 minutes. Now it takes very little time at all: real12m35.937s user8m37.284s sys 0m24.046s [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # much faster. :D Most of that is the metadata thing now though. Maybe one day. o_O Back to bed now. It's only 2:45AM here. O_O Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, Why not use a keyserver to keep your key, there are enough of them ;) GnuPG can be setup to use one or more keyservers (same for Kmail,TB,Evo) Plus configure it the auto-fetch new/unknown keys, then forget about it.

However, while searching for Rumen's key, I didn't find it on most of the keyservers. Is this just because they only syncronise once a month or so, or is the key new, or were the keyservers just not syncing between the ones I tried first? pgpFdWqkxIEbi.pgp Description: PGP signature
