  Well, I didn't know about that tool. I was thinking about backing up
the secret keys in a printed paper, but I discarded the idea because I
thought it was infeasible (I mean, I thought my chance of a human typing
it without mistakes was really low). But then I saw the quotations of
Kara's message, and I thought it was not so unfeasible... and now I know
there is a tool that reduces a lot the length of the text to type, I
have changed my opinion.

  But I have some questions:

1.- If I use the tool in ubuntu, and then I open the output text file in
windows (to print it), will I have problems with charsets? Maybe the
solution would be to convert the txt to a pdf file, before moving it to
windows...

2.- Well... I am really newbie with ubuntu (I am starting to think I am
a noob in ubuntu, since time is passing, and I am not improving at all),
so I have some doubts about how to install the tool in ubuntu...

Best Regards
