Getting PGP

[Karl F. Larsen]

    Pretty Good Privacy or PGP is a system to encode a message so that 
only you or another person you give the right to, can decode the 
message. I was looking around with Google and discovered that 
www.pgp.com was there but they will only sell you a version for like 
$250.00 for Windows.

    Just on a lark I tried $ sudo aptitude install pgp and it did! I had 
to search around to find any information but then found man pgpgpg and 
it has most of what you need. I found out how to make me a new Public 
and Private key which I did and did decode a file I have in my computer.

    This is a Command Line version of PGP and it is designed to be used 
by business. You can build up a system that encodes outgoing email and 
decodes incoming mail that you have on your key ring.

    There are a few things nice about this version. The software runs on 
Ubuntu. It never gets out of date. It is free of all cost. You can use 
it as much as you please.
And you can get it back if you hard drive crashes.
