I like the UPR solution. 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

You could also have a look at my PrivCoin Distro. I admit, that it's a little bit out of date, but it should be quite easy to change the build-process for a more recent version of Armory or qt-bitcoin.

Take a look at Tails (debian) ... might be a good template to use, obviously without the network connectivity.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, there is another person who made it with the newest debian and the new Gnome3, it was hard to even control it lol

I'd recommend Ubuntu considering that's what Armory is developed with. The no network privacy remix sounds like a good idea.

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?
