What's the best way of keeping a PGP private key file generated by GnuPG?

I will just store my public key online, in Gmail, on many of my computers. Where/how best to protect and store the private key file?

Best Answer

Use your favorite encryption software, or just leave it alone on your desktop somewhere or anywhere you want on your computer (assuming physical access to your computer is secured, there is little/no chance that someone will be able to get the key).
