1. Download Ubuntu iso, burn it on DVD
2. Download bitaddress.org html with javascript (https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org) and burn it on CD
3. Remove Harddisk of laptop
4. Boot from Ubuntu DVD.
5. Load bitaddress.org local html site from CD.
6. plug in printer
7. print wallets
8. unplug everything from power.

EDIT: put just 10 BTC on one wallet address (better 5 BTC or even better 1 BTC) if practicable! to avoid the damage if a possible but very unlikely address collision occur. then rent a bank safe deposit box and you can forget it for 5, 10 or even 20 years.

How do I do step 2 exactly?

I downloaded the ZIP (on the right). And extracted it onto a USD stick.

Could I use https://github.com/cantonbecker/bitcoinpaperwallet instead? Is it as safe?

Author of that service here. Yes, if you trust bitaddress.org, you should be able to trust bitcoinpaperwallet.com as well (provided you use the same security sensibility, starting with downloading the ZIP instead of running off of the website.)

Bitcoinpaperwallet.com is a fork of bitaddress.org and can be verified to use the same javascript generator. It's just a different look & feel, and it's only suitable for creating paper wallets. (I stripped out the features for brain wallets, etc.)

Plus, there's a new holiday design to enjoy.
