ohhhhh ... thx. i'm a linux n00b if it hasn't been already obvious. Although learning to work in it through trial by fire ain't that bad. So the download is still down, but decided to Google and found a mirror site for the gpg pub-key http://download.tuxfamily.org/xepcrepo/dists/p701/xepc-pubkey.txt Yosh! I had this whole thing typed out that I was still getting an error but I forgot to add the key before updating :P ALL GOOD! Thx y'all
