I'm glad to hear that.  Yes, I can run executables. And, yes, it's
Linux.

Actually, they were the ones who asked _me_ whether they would
need to install anything as 'root'.  That's why I wanted to know
if GPG could be installed by me in my own little section of the
server to work.  My other concern is being able to use the
capabilities of dev/random.

Also, do I need to compile GPG on the remote Linux machine or
can I compile it on a local Linux machine and just upload the
necessary files to the remote one?

I am looking through the archives as well.  But it seems that there
have been significant changes in GPG and I wanted to be sure I could
do what I want with the latest version (1.0.7).
