You will need a local bitcoind on your Armory computer.
Your local bitcoind is able to connect with a bitcoind blockchain on an other server/NAS in your local network or external server.
Be aware of the security risks!!!
Armory expect your local machine, bitcoind, Armory and connections to be safe, with this settings you undermine this basic principle.
Only advisable if you KNOW what you are doing.
On your local bitcoin.conf:
connect=[IP of bitcoind server]
addnode=127.0.0.1
rpcconnect=[IP of bitcoind server]
whitelist=255.255.255.0
Also set in Armory settings the rpcuser and rpcpassword of the bitcoind server.

The main condition is to save the purse address!
How to do it?
If your main concern to switch to Armory is security, you subvert this by (re-)using old addresses. (e.g. was your address/private key safe in QT, or not?)How to do it?
Beside, never use the same address twice.

however, the median transaction fee drastically drops as a result, and in a continued attack soon you could see that ~10% of transactions pay more than the median fee.
And if we use:
Code:
% of transactions with a fee higher than (median transaction fee of transactions with a fee)
This excludes zero fee transactions in the calculation of the median transaction fee.
In that case a large quantity of zero fee transactions (and spam) does not have influence on the median transaction fee.
Why not consider % of transactions with a fee?
This way users have direct influence in block size by paying a transaction fee (above median).
With paying a transaction fee users have a vote in the 'free rider effect'/spam and if current levels are acceptable.
1. small block size -> only transactions with fee will be processed fast (others get parked in mem. pool)
2. big block size -> a lot of transactions have a fee and a lot transactions without a fee (spam?) are accepted
3. median block size -> a balance between transactions with and without a fee
Also added a bigger scale (due to near future (holiday) transaction peaks).
I used Gavin's proposal as starting point:

Install 12.10 deb on 13.10 works.
On my system Ubuntu 13.10 v.99.16 seems to have a 'wait/watch' issue in transition from updating blockchain (bitcoind) to scanning the blockchain.
This is already happening a number of builds ago.
If all the blocks are already downloaded and Armory is started, Armory continues after this check.
When there are new blocks and the 'wait/watch' issue seems to be there, the --debug last info is: "(INFO) ArmoryQt.py:3781 - Switching Armory functional mode to "Offline" ".
Visually: Qt states "Synchronizing with Network x blocks" with x > 0 and stays that way. Now more counting down. Just continue to display only this information.
When only <10 new blockchain blocks, Armory does continue, with 92 blocks (last time I got this error) Armory gets in the 'wait/watch' modus.
Maybe only happens when there is a new block file?
I can try a rescan or a reinstall of bitcoind and Armory, but maybe you prefer some more error analysis before I do that or to try another build first.
Please let me know.
[EDIT] Today (11/25) Armory did not stop when it started with 152 blocks to download (bitcoind). The number of blocks to download is not the variable triggering the freeze.

----- Ubuntu/Debian
Only 10.04 and 12.04 are mentioned.Is the 12.04 deb/installer compatible with 13.10?
...
I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default.
...
Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning
In my search process I just noticed there is only 10.04 support until 2013/05.I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default.
...
Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning
Are you sure you want to keep support on 10.04?
Ubuntu 10.4 LTS support.
Installing armory_0.89.99.12-testing_i386.deb gives dependency error: libstdc++6 >= 4.6
On 10.4 LTS the most recent available is 4.4.3
Maybe more dependencies will give this error, but no tools available on this offline machine.

Top post links now link to the fixed .deb installers!
Check! Works.Thanks Alan!

Works! Not any noticeable difference in time.Also adding (read-only) wallets (rescan) works without any errors.
Noticed the message during startup stating max 75 connections.
Thank you Allan!
Someone just reported a problem with "Too many open files" when running on Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit.
I have the problems on a 13.04 32-bit Ubuntu system.
As mentioned before the "sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=5000000" still gives the error: "socket.error: [Errno 24] Too many open files".
Side note: when it breaks the GUI (Qt) still keeps running without any notification. I expect a notification is desirable.
After a lot of search and a lot of trying I found out that ulimit did the trick for me.
Add to /etc/security/limits.conf:
* soft nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535
Reboot.
Start Armory again (now without the socket.error)
On my intel i5 with Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit the problem does not arise, even with the standard (ulimit -n = 1024).
Reference: http://posidev.com/blog/2009/06/04/set-ulimit-parameters-on-ubuntu/
If you have a fix for this and want to run some tests, please let me know.
Someone just reported a problem with "Too many open files" when running on Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit.
Solution above did not do the trick.
During parsing blockchain files the number of unclosed files increase.
Running the command below gives me a higher number during (re)building:
Code:
lsof | grep python | wc -l
The code and (possible) solution is mentioned on:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16386678/too-many-open-files-python-multiprocess-tcp-server
Mentioned solution: "The problem solved. File descriptor assotiated with socket must be manually closed. os.close(fd)"
Hopefully you can reproduce this, or maybe it is only a problem in Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit.
--rebuild does not work.

Can you please try --rebuild.
I'll do that. Should it be default for the first time or a database check before start?On my Ubuntu 13.04 i368 running Armory for the first time this error hits every 10 - 15 blocks:
The second error:
Armory keep up the good work!
