I haven't read much, I can tell you it really works if you have 
sensitive data you want to Encrypt. Else you probably won't need it.
Normally what it does in Windows is your right click the file and 
encrypt it. As easy as that. I bet in Linux is going to be the same 
thing but with a simple command...

I don't use it cause I don't have a private enough document like for me 
to take the time and encrypt it.
