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?

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.

What about on a mac?

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.
