How to install Bitcoin Armory in Ubuntu 14.04
If you're new to Ubuntu and Linux, here's a beginner's guide to installing the newest version of the Armory wallet software along with the newest version of the underlying Bitcoin Core daemon. With the recent speculations on backdoors in commercial operating systems like Windows and MacOS, here's how to do it on the free and open source Ubuntu system, version 14.04 (newest at writing).

Prerequisites: A running Ubuntu installation (newly installed is just fine)

How to compile and run VanityGen Bitcoin tool in Ubuntu 14.04
Use the VanityGen tool to generate a Bitcoin address that stands out from the others. Decide for yourself the first part of the address, and have an address such as 1PayMeNhp3RN5v5V1kwuNSRYBV32T9cpto . Letting others generate a vanity address for you is generally considered less secure since they will know (part of) your private key. This tutorial, however, will show you how to generate an address yourself, letting no one but yourself know your private address.

On Linux, compiling VanityGen yourself is required. This tutorial shows you how to do that on Ubuntu 14.04, and how to use the tool itself.

Cool videos!
  I hope it will bring some answers to those who need a help while installing those wallets.

Do you plan to do some more videos with btc tutorials?

Do you plan to do some more videos with btc tutorials?

Yes, I have used the last couple of days doing a tutorial that shows how to set up a cold storage using Armory, and how to make transactions to and from that cold storage. I hope to have it ready for later today in the morning. It will be somewhat longer than the previous two, though.

All I see on that website is a whole lot of black, and a small text in the top that says "Unity Web Player | Bitcoin Online Embassy". Is this correct?

Hmm you need a unity web player. You are Linux user right?
It is working fine  for Windows and Mac but there is an answer for Linux too.
 I can send you desktop version of  this app. Just let me come back to home.

Did a quick research, didn't find a Unity web player for Linux. No official Linux support. Generally people seem to suggest trying to get the Windows version to work through Wine, and there seems to be a solution through something called Pipelight. I might have the time to try that out at a later point, but not needing this for anything else (most video sites work through HTML5 or Flash, I guess), it might not have my highest priority.

I now added this cold storage tutorial to the original post.

Unfortunately not; I'm a Linux user. Which kind of tutorial would you be interested in (in case I get my hands on a Windows computer at some point and decide to make one)?
