Yes, hkp://subkeys.pgp.net works, it's what I have in my gpg config
and what was the default for a while.  With gnupg-1.4.9, the default
changed to hkp://keys.gnupg.net.

I think that was due to nature of the thread.  It wasn't started as a
"How to use PGP" thread.  Such a thread might be on topic here, though
it would fit better on the gnupg-users list.

Certainly, reading the fine manual first is probably the best step.
Then, if there are particular things that you have questions about,
ask away.  Use of PGP/GPG is a rather large subject.  I still remember
printing the manual from pgp 2.6.2 (100+ pages IIRC).  Things are a
lot easier to use now, though understanding the concepts behind it is
still very beneficial to make good use of it.
