Accepting the caveats already mentioned (I do keep my private key on
two systems, on which only I have root, the only users are
personal acquaitances, and I use NetBSD's in-tree mtree--same
function as tripwire, but it's part of the distro--religiously), I
plan on doing something similar with those 3-inch CD-Rs out these
days as soon as I buy a couple.

(I'll be keeping my GPG private key along with an ssh private key
on the CD, and keeping that with me all the time, so that I never
need to pass my passphrases across a network.)
