Ledger Nano S Security

[khomsky]

I just received my ledger nano s and am installing the Ripple Wallet.

1. As with cold wallets, would it be safer to download the Ripple Ledger Client and install it onto a cold computer such as a rasp pi rather than a desktop that has been connected to the internet therefore becoming susceptible to malware attacks.

2. I have yet to send from the ledger nano s, but is the private key secure and we only have to authorize a send using a passcode? 

Thanks.

for those who just got the Ledger Nano S words of advice: if it isn't working as expected on start up just close out the ledger manager app, re open and then unplug and plug the ledger nano s back in
i was having trouble installing and uninstalling apps

For your second question:

Your Nano S requires your manual consent to authenticate this transaction: press the right button (above the "V" check icon) to confirm once you have verified the details of your transaction are right and wait until your Chrome app displays "validated"

Ledger Nano S is made to be secure even on an infected computer. It's pretty damn amazing, well worth it for me.

Put 100 XRP on it and hide it for 5 years, no matter what. Even if I don't think it will ever go that up.

Lock up a 2nd nano in a bank safe along with the recovery sheet.  It's going to be worth a fortune one day.
