That's nice to hear. Thank you.

I heard lots of positive things about sks, but my first and last attempt to 
install it on a debian failed... it's been some months since. It's not that 
I'm lazy, but in the past, the appearance of a debian package always seemed 
a good indicator of the product maturity. Is there a debian package yet?


One more question:
I am still downloading the keydump files. They sum up to about 2.4GByte. 
While for priming a key server that's OK, but how much would you estimate 
the regular traffic (GByte/month)?
