Also comes with Redhat 7.x. Most distributions are including GPG for
signature verification on RPMs. For those people using KDE (my
preference), I believe the KMail that comes withe KDE 2.1 integrated GPG
support for signing/encrypting mail. I think I also saw a key management
GUI somewhere -- look on www.kde.org for more info.
