is a quick overview of why I no longer actively read OSnews.
Huh..?
The story’s a very good introduction to GPG. One of the best stories on the subject that I know and that I could recommend to someone who wants to get a quick overview of GPG.
(Hmm.., well, like you said yourself – maybe it is really better that trolls like you don’t actively visit a good site like OS News..?)
The point is by reading it noone can tell wtf GPG actually is.
True.. the only thing I knew GPG from, before reading this article, were the great “Game Programming Gems” books. But I guess that’s not what they’re talking about there. =)

I have always created my keys within the KDE tools, or with PGP in Windows. After migrating to Ubuntu I was unsure how to encrypt email from a Gnome based OS. Thanks Eugenia, for linking to this very helpful article.
