So that's what people are talking about whenever they say there's gonna be a "public key signing!" I've been idly wondering what that could be. Okay... that makes sense now.

Most key servers use hardened linux or SE Linux, right? Since that is what they're supposed to be for? I think I could scrape together another cheap-o server to make into my own key server... that'd be cool.
