Hi,
I am trying to get back into using PGP. It appears that there
are several different versions of PGP. Which version of PGP is
most widely used and supported?
Thank you in advance for any info and pointers.

How about GnuPG? I'm trying both GPG and PGP 6.5 right now to decide
which to stick with; are they 100% compatible?

I wouldn't use the "original" PGP as it has a pretty dumb license and this

I'm getting, from several different mailing lists including linuxchix,
duplicate copies of every post of mine that someone replies to, largely as
far as I can see because I can't set a reply-to when I write the mail and
the replies therefore get CC'd to my inbox.
However, asking about this on m
How about this, though.
It is always the same inode-- When fscking, inode 818763 is always deleted
with zero dtime. What does this show?
I ran badblocks on /dev/hda1 (where the inode would be) and the system once
again crashed.
Thanks,

In keeping with all the links posted here, there's a site called
FAQFinder (http://faqfinder.cs.uchicago.edu) which will find natural
language questions in FAQ files. I don't think it has all the Linux
FAQs, but if you need a fast answer to a question that you think might
be in a FAQ, try that one

minimal? Is it worth shelling out the bucks?

This could just be a temporary file that some daemon has opened and unlinked.
When the system crashes, the one reference to that file (the process) has

Also...most of the larger monitors will tell you exactly wht the viewable
area of the CRT is. (I have yet to figure out why a 15" LCD has a 14"
viewable) Average is...21"- from 18.5"-19", 19" has 18", 17" has 15.7-16",

You can set your reply to in pine. :o)
In your .pinerc you can add the line

You can change all (well, all of the basics, safely) of your headers this
way, including your From: (that's what I do here when I'm telnet-ed in to

There is no backdoor in any current version of pgp (that is
authentic. If you download it from a warez site, well, you get
what you ask for). The p

But, you have to be careful of the trinitron anywhere where there might be
electrical interference, or vibration. The type of mask that Sony uses on
