Hi Markku, thanks for the reply.
It seems that gnupg is installed by default in FC1, so that's done.
I took a quick look at man gpg, and it seems like all I need to do there is:
gpg --gen-key
and
gpg --send-key [mykey] --keyserver [mykeyserver]
Am I correct? Do I have to do this from the command line?
Another issue:
I already have a public key on the keyservers that I had forgotten about.
I found it by searching on www.keyserver.net/en.
What would you suggest I do? Should I just retrieve that key and use it, or
should I revoke it, create a new one, and upload it?
