You've ordered the special.
Try out these features:
==========================
Use SSH keys instead of SSH password logins:
- Generate yourself an SSH key using the menu item
'Key | Create New Key' in the 'Encryption Keys' program.
- Use 'Configure SSH Key for Computer' to send your key to
a remote machine.
Save your SSH key passphrases in gnome-keyring.
- Make sure you have a SSH key agent setup properly
(most distros do)
- Check the 'Automatically load SSH keys' checkbox on
the 'Passphrase Cache' tab in 'Encryption Preferences'.
Save your GPG key passphrases in gnome-keyring.
- Select the 'Always remember passphrases whenever logged in'
option on the 'Passphrase Cache' tab in 'Encryption Preferences'.
