Unplugged Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) I know we already got a pinned thread about Old Computers but I really didn't want any of that. My Old Laptop specs are: 1.50 GHz 512 Ram 40gb HDD 64mb Video Card I'm planning to learn Linux and some penetration testing but I don't think my Old Laptop can handle BT5. my specs seems so low. can you give out suggestions please.. all of your suggestions would be highly appreciated. thanks.

Sitwon Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'd actually be rather surprised if it couldn't handle running BT5. Those specs aren't that bad for typical Linux system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unplugged Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 should i install BT5 on it. or make it the victim PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattZ Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would probably put bt5 on the laptop, run a few different windows OS's virtually, that way you could play with different stages of patching with windows easily. If the laptop isn't running BT5 smoothly, you can always just switch it up. Only takes like an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unplugged Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 yeah i already put BT5 on it. but it seems to be slow.. and i don't think it can handle a Virtual OS in there its going to be super slow. can you guys suggest any other lightweight pentest OS. i really want to learn it.
