What about on a mac?

just make it yourself then, its super simple. If you have a 32 bit machine than download this iso http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=lts If you have is 64 bit machine than use this link http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts These are image files so just use a standard cd/dvd burning program to create an image disk using one of these two iso's. And thats it you have an ubuntu image disk.

Cool that sounds simple! The only thing is I didn't receive my ubuntu live-Cd yet. But I'll do that as soon as I receive it! After I send the coins to that address, will there be some way so see if the funds were received?

Sure ok. So ill give you a description of the most secure way to do it. Well go right to the james bond level.

• Hover over this url https://bitaddress.org look in the bottom left corner of the screen to make sure it is honest
• Right click on that url and click save link as. Save it to a usb drive or something like that
• Boot ubuntu from your live cd (DO NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET)
• copy the bitaddress.org.htm file that you saved on your usb drive to your desktop
• open the bitaddress.org.htm file from your desktop
• go to the print paper wallet tab
• connect your pc to your printer using a usb cable and print the paper wallets (not wifi)
• (optional for extra security) clear your printer cache
• restart your computer
• send bitcoins to the address on your paper wallets in w/e denomination you like
• (recommended) laminate your paper wallets

Hi guys,

First of all I'm really a noob regarding computer language, softwares etc. I discovered bitcoin couple months ago and I bought a few of them. I registered at blockchaininfo.com and that is where they are right now. At the time I wasn't even aware that bitcoin-qt existed and I thought online wallets were the only way to go. But now that ive read a few topics here, and bitcoin prices are up, I'm considering incresing my security. Also I'm always tempted to sell but deep inside I just wanna buy and hold so I wanna make it difficult to move them coins. What is the procedure to move those bitcoins from blockchain.info to an offline wallet? I read that article https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=17240.2480 . Is that still a good way to do it? I bought a 5$ unbuntu live-cd on ebay and I may try that. I don't have any old pc at hand  so a way to do it without storing them into a computer would be the best for me. I also installed and syncronized Bitcoin-qt because I'm aware that it could be part of the process to a more secure wallet.

That's what I know for now.. Those thoughts are all unclear though and I don't know where to start, so if some of you tech savy guys could point out the best threads on the subject or where I should start, it would be verry appreciated.

Also I speak french so it makes it even tougher to be clear.

Thanks

Edit
To sumarize I would like a wallet where I never log in to avoid malwares and keyloggers, and where there is not information about it on my computer, like the private keys etc. I would only send bitcoins from time to time to that address. No spending.
