-GPG will first ask you which kind of key you want to generate. Choosing the
-default (RSA and DSA) is fine. Next it will ask you about the keysize. The
-default (currently 2048) is fine, but 4096 is more secure. Afterwards, it will

 Now GPG will create a key for you, which can take a little bit of time; it 
 needs random bytes, so if you give the system some work to do it will be
