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?
