it's secure, if you don't make any mistake, there is not reason you would lose your wallet ...

Put Linux on another partition and only use it for the Bitcoin client.

the partition could be on a USB memory stick so you could remove it and lock it in a fire proof safe :P

even if you got the wallet.dat file you need to decrypt it.

people get hacked by downloading another program (like mining software) that key logs their password.

I like this idea a lot. I'll split it all up among a few wallets and store the bulk of it on an USB. Or is it best to sell while the cost is so high.

I'm thinking of putting a client on my raspberry pi.

Only going to fire it up when I need to open the wallet.

Going to keep one wallet on my main computer (daily use) and use it like a mini wallet.
