It seemed to work well.  At first I couldn't access the key server but 
that cleared up after a couple of hours. The only other thing was the 
plugin did not work at first.  The log said it was installed but I found 
a broken symlink pointing to the old plugin. Once that was fixed it 
seems to be working fine.
