Title: Creating an Armory USB drive for offline usage: which Linux distro? Post by: Kazimir on November 07, 2012, 03:34:43 PM I want to create a bootable USB flash drive with some Linux version + Armory, to keep my private keys protected and only sign transactions (or, actually, creating private keys and only ever decrypting them whatsoever) within the dedicated, protected, non-internet-connected Linux environment.
Question: what Linux distribution would you recommend?

I admit, that it's a little bit out of date, but it should be quite easy to change the build-process for a more recent version of Armory or qt-bitcoin.

Just a question: where I can find all the necessary packages to install Armory offline in UPR? http://packages.ubuntu.com/I think you'll want the lucid packages since UPR is based on 10.04. It might be easier to build a custom CD. https://www.privacy-cd.org/en/tutorials/build-your-own-cd |
