Tiago, Anthony,

Thank you for your answers,

I think you lead me toward a rationalization of my digital identity. Here what I'm working on:
For my common usage, I'll use a USB key with my GPG ring on it. I'll say that's my "main" keyring. On it I'll have my SSH keys, too. I think it will become a full authentication token, too.
For my servers work (I'm a big screen session eater) I'll setup a sync from the key to the server (this server has a mutt session always active on my different mailboxes, so need my gpg ring).

It's still not very clear in my mind, but I hope I'll get something rather smooth.

Thomas
