Hello,

I've two questions.

1.) I have a laptop that does not keep good time.  Will the clock skew 
affect GPG adversely while encrypting or decrypting emails?

2.) I also use a desktop.  Is it secure for me to simply duplicate my 
~/.gnupg directories on each machine (assuming that I copy the files in a 
secure way), or should I create a different key-pair for the desktop 
machine?

Thanks,
