    Hello,

    What do you all suggest as the preferred key type RSA or DSA?

    In the past I've always used DSA keys instead of RSA, but
    now I can't remember why I decided that way.

    Is one "better" than the other?
    Are there any trade-offs invloved in using one or the other?

    Thanks for any suggestions.
