So those of us who run one of the unsupported platforms won't be able to verify the GnuPG signatures even if care about doing so. In light of this I think the move to GnuPG should be delayed until the software matures and is able to support more platforms. Footnotes: 1. <URL:http://www.d.shuttle.de/isil/gnupg/> Supported Systems GnuPG works fine on GNU/Linux with x86, alpha, sparc64, m68k or powerpc CPUs. (x86 is my primary development system, the other CPUs are only checked from time to time) It compiles okay on GNU/Hurd but because Mach has no random device, it should not be used for real work. It should be easy to add the random device driver from Linux to the Hurd - Anyone? FreeBSD with x86 CPU works fine. OpenBSD works fine (x86 CPU?). GnuPG compiles and runs on many more systems, but due to the lack of a good random number source, it should not be used on these systems. I have reports on these systems: HPUX v9.x and v10.x with HPPA CPU, IRIX v6.3 with MIPS R10000 CPU, SunOS, Solaris on sparc and x86, Windoze 95 and WNT with x86 CPUs.
