  There are a good number of gui's that Linux users can use for gpg, and fo=
r=20
the windows users, I'd recommend pgp 6.5.8 which is free and IIRR, also com=
es=20
with a very nice guide to pgp and its uses. (I perfer kgpg or gpa personall=
y,=20
and rarely use the command line)

These guys looked dangerous...and hungry,
so to placate them until I found a shrubber,
I fed them an MSN butterfly. They dined
quite happily it seemed.
