Hello Everyone,

I've recently been experimenting with GPG and created a nice gpg key for 
my email. Sent off my public key to some of my friends and have been 
interacting with some of them "secretly". Its quite a nice feeling to know 
its secure. 

I have a few queries though :

1. How safe is it(GPG/PGP) really ? I believe its quite safe... or am i 
living in a sense of false security ??

2. I made my keys on a RH 8.0 box, and now plan to migrate to debian. How 
do i take my keys along ? Do i simply export them from here and import 
them there ? Would that work ? Or should i also copy my .gnupg directory ?
Or is there something else that needs to be done ?

3. Are there any rules/netiquettes for gpg/pgp keys ? Do i need to 
publish my key somewhere ? Any servers ?

4. What is a key-signing party ? If many people on linux-delhi have 
gpg/pgp keys, then maybe we should have one in the next meet. I remember 
there being a key-signing party a couple of years back when Raj had given 
a talk on GPG. I was too young to understand all that then, but now i 
realise what all he was talking about.

5. Any other comments ?

regards,
Gami
