just download liberte linux live CD from dee.su and use the regular browser instead of torrified browser. make sure java is disabled. good to go. burn to CD, put in tray and reboot whatever comp you're using right now.
then download electrum or multibit to usb. copy to liberte desktop, generate new wallet, encrypt it and keep it stored on usb/cloud or use blockchain.info wallets with encrypted key backup. be sure to install Common Sense 1.0 which is not clicking any links in the BTC-E trollbox and you will be fine.
you can also just run liberte off a usb with encrypted persistent storage
Topic: Dedicated Linux netbook suggestions? (Read 985 times)
After hearing so many horror stories it seems like a good idea to get a cheap dedicated machine for all Bitcoin transactions (sending, trading, generating paper wallets, etc) before loading up on BTC.
Any suggestions on nice, small, cheap netbooks that runs Linux well and will get the job done?
Also what steps should be taken to harden a standard Linux (say Ubuntu) installation?
Are there easy ways to completely isolate certain processes, like your Bitcoin client(s) and Chrome? Besides running an entire VM, that is.
