In an Armory tutorial on youtube Andy said he useing ubuntu. But not much into why he did it. When searching Im most finding installation problems. Perhaps I can do a better search. But how come its better to use it when even if the computer is cold?
A cold windows computer should be that secure as ubuntu?
Yes, the OS doesn't matter, the main thing to understand is as long the computer is offline it is safe but he might have mentioned it because usually the computers people don't use for online purposes are old and have less ram and cpu power and which is why ubuntu or other linux distros are recommended as their older versions work well with computers with less powers, also they can be run on a pen drive very easily which is very hard to achieve even if you're trying to run xp. But even ubuntu require some knowledge and experience to use so if you're not comfortable with it just use xp or seven or which ever one you want to use as long as your computer supports it. The only thing you need for a cold storage wallet is a computer capable of running a browser with java enabled.
