GPG Keys

[Jacob Weeks]

i had to do this to use some repos.. if you want apt-get to actually
beable to use the key.. you need them in roots keychain.. therefore..
the sudo

if you don't sudo you'd be putting them in your keychain.. and then
the signature check on the repos would fail and you can't get some
updates/software.

I recall an issue, and resulted to su - ; signing in as root .. then
get the keys..

which tony might want to try.
