Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew if it was safe to run the other version of Ubuntu- 13.10 burned to a USB for using it on a MacBook pro retina, booting it up through the EFI option since clicking on the "Windows" option doesn't detect that the Ubuntu OS is there. so anyways booting it using the EFI option and clicking "try Ubuntu" rather then installing it. Would that be safe and secure or is the other version-Ubuntu 12.04 better to use for creating offline paper wallets? I tried to boot from that version first but it wouldn't work matter what on this MacBook, (works on older computer though) so only the 13.10 Ubuntu works on the newer MacBook. how ever the screen resolution of Ubuntu is extremely small and you can barely see the cursor, would this effect generating paperwallets? if it could be a glitch? (Using the exact same Ubuntu live USB on the older MacBook starts up with a normal screen size rather then it does on the new MacBook).
(BTW running Ubuntu would be kept offline at all times) & Would running this new version of Ubuntu possibly save onto the new MBP's memory system? Older 12.04 Ubuntu does NOT boot on it at all)
I was also wondering if the new Bitaddress version 2.6.6 (the downloadable zip off github) is safe rather then using the older version from a month ago? I wanted to use Bitaddress for BIP38 encryption for a few wallets paper wallets .
Thank you,
Happy holidays everyone!!
