My preference is to install Kali via the custom image "XFCE-light". At that point, you can lock it down, add users for whatever tasks you may need, tune it, harden it, remove any other crap you don't want on it then add the packages you want and know you need. I couldn't begin to guess how many distros & various *nix's I have adminned or used since I started by installing Slak from about 14 floppy disks back in the early 90's. This particular method and config has become my favorite by far. That said, If you are set on trying something other than Kali, both Arch and Pentoo are very decent.

I have my ubertooth one in a rysc case. Even though it is a little pricey for a simple case, I would choose that even over making my own with a 3d printer just because the quality is top notch. Same case fits the yardstick one since the whole top is clear LED position doesn't matter. Of course I don't have a 3d printer yet so maybe my thought would change if that were the case. (no pun intended). The printed case Barry did looks really good either way, nicely done! -Mike

I will take it if still available. I am in Washington State.
