(cross posting unanswered question on superuser.com)

GnuPG public keys that are imported into the RPM keyring with:

rpm --import PUBKEY_FILE

can be queried with

rpm -q gpg-pubkey-<key-id>

For example the CentOS4 key:

pub  1024D/443E1821 2005-02-25 CentOS-4 key <centos-4key@centos.org>
     Key fingerprint = 31EA 27E5 6F79 0C18 AD79  18DF A53D 0BAB 443E 1821
sub  2048g/06870DBC 2005-02-25 [expires: 2015-02-23]

can be queried with

rpm -q gpg-pubkey-443e1821

and the result is:

gpg-pubkey-443e1821-421f218f

The RPM's version number 443e1821 corresponds to the key id 0x443e1821 but what the release number 421f218f stands for?

To add a trusted key to the rpm package manager I am told to use the command:

rpm --import GPG_KEY

How can view rpm's trusted keys and how can I remove a trusted key?

I am fairly new to Linux and have noticed things like Debian has deb packages and fedora has rpm. there are probably allot more different packages ,myself I like Debian style but I am wondering if it is possible to download something from fedora or a different distro and unpackage and install the software to any distro or is there sometype of software that I would need to be able to do this?
