Recommend might be a bit strong, as I didn't really try to figure out
other ways, but my way is simple: one and only one machine is the
master, and only it syncs with the keyservers.  To sync the other
machine, I tar up the .gnupg directory and replace the one on the slave
machine.

I should automate this process, now that you remind me.  But it's quite
simple anyway.

The small binary attachment on every message I send is my PGP digital
signature, not a virus.  If you don't know what that is, you can ignore it.
If you do, my keyserver is pgp.mit.edu.
