	Well, you don't tell us what distro you're running but it's apparently
one that has yum on it, like Fedora or RedHat or CentOS.  That's a
start.

	The package you want is gnupg and is probably already installed.  Just
run "rpm -qa | grep gnupg" and you'll probably find that both gnupg and
gnupg2 are installed.

	The files with your personal keyrings and all are in your home
directory under .gnupg.  So ~/.gnupg/ is where it's all at and just copy
that whole directory to the new system and you should be good to go.
