Ok, thanks all for your patience.
I somehow understand that my system is not the most powerful in the world, but hey... It is taking some time now, don't you think so?

Not really. The blockchain is bordering 90GB. With the amount of processing required for Core to verify the chain and Armory to parse it, we are in big data territory. Fitting that load on a home hardware is the tough part.

If you think you ought to get a smooth experience trying to setup a full bitcoin stack on what amounts to decade old low end consumer hardware, you need to reassess your expectations.

Just a question : does armoryDB allows the use of 2 options at a time ?
ie : --ram-usage=1 and --db-type=DB_BARE
What would be the correct format ? just a space between both options or something mixed like --ram-usage=1; db-type=DB_BARE ?

You can use any non contradictory combination of command line arguments. The specific command you want here is:

a) On Windows, browse to the executable path (in /program files x86/Armory by default), and type the following:

ArmoryDB.exe --db-type=DB_BARE --ram-usage=1

DB_BARE only works on an empty database folder, so you'll have to wipe your current DB, or use another folder.

b) On *nix, in the terminal, input the following:

ArmoryDB --db-type=DB_BARE --ram-usage=1

Is there any option to restore my BitCoins to another wallet once I have the keylists ?

What about the use of the bitcoin core wallet in combination with paper wallets to store BTC?
Basically I just want to have some control on my BTC mining revenue.
If I send this to a paper wallet with no other step in between I have no chance to check if there's something wrong while transferring

There are plenty of options as long as you have your private keys in hand. It mostly boils down to user choice. This isn't really the place to discuss these options and what they entail to. It boils down to this:

Any solution that runs off of a full bitcoin node requires a lot of bandwidth, storage and processing power to maintain. With that cost, you buy a full bitcoin experience.

Any solution that does not require a full node will have you give up a set of properties, first among which is your privacy.
