How to migrate to a new computer?
I have bought a new computer, an i7 iMac running Lion. I am switching over from an old G5 running 10.5.8 (Keychain Access 10.5.8).
So how can I migrate over all my keys, including my key pair?
Is it as simple as selecting all the keys in the GPG Keychain Access and exporting them? Then importing them on the new machine?
Anything else I would need to migrate over?
Thanks

Hey Bill,
what you write sounds rather sane to me. Simply export all your keys and make sure you tick to export the sec key part as well. Then import all that info into GPG Keychain Access on your new machine.
Start using and see if anything is missing.
Double check that you have all your sec keys before erasing that data form your old machine!
Hope this helps,
steve
