Hi. Why do people post thier PGP key on the forums? Is it a good idea?
And also does anybody know of any tutorials for using linux based gpg pgp or what have you?
Thanks

They're not posting their private keys, they're posting their public keys. The public keys are required for others to send them encrypted messages.

HRM it looks like the key I made was private. How do I make a public key? Or does it generate one when I encrypt a file using my private key?
SRSLY any tutorials anyone knows about or good threads concerning gpg and linux are appreciated.

SR security expert astor still has the best PGP tutorial IMHO. When you get to 100 posts, make sure to give him some sweet sweet karma.
