priming a keg

I just started my first brew a couple of days ago and haven't yet decided whether to go with bottles or a keg system. I am kind of thinking that the novelty of sanitizing and washing dozens of beer bottles will soon wear off. I am also waiting to see how the brew turns out before investing in a keg system.

Anyway, my newbie question is:

Is it possible or even beneficial to prime a keg? I understand that because you charge it with bottled CO2 that you don't need to but I was curious as to how much impact secondary fermentation has on the characteristics of the beer.

There is no benfit to priming a ke. Force carbing is quicker, easier, and more controllable. There is no difference in the quality of carbonation between priming and force carbing, despite what some literature would have you believe.
