Newbier Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 you sir are a super linux trouper, I used backtrack 4 and 5 gave tails a spin a couple of times but now that you mentioning it might have a look at it again, i thought version 1 of kali was called kali after the end of backtrack didnt know it was named something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixL Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 When I first got into Linux (in the late 90s) I tried Caldera, it was quite difficult to configure hardware and any software have to be compiled and built from source tar.gz.....I've tried Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu...many many more.. Oh i've also tried FreeBSD and even gave Haiku a go once. Now I use Mint Linux on my laptop primarily because its the only Linux that gets my NVIDIA card working with Hashcat.... and I use Ubuntu MATE on my GPD Pocket because it is the only one that works without fuss on that laptop! If it wasn't a hassle i'd have Mint on the GPD Pocket too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemonik Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Black arch does have a lot of tools, No one mentioned Devuan. I really enjoy it if you keep it all free, I've have no issues with it really. I like being able to use refracta installer to image my system and than re-image it to a live-iso. It's nice to have a portable system with all your favorite programs all pre-installed.

Bhawani Singh Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Centos is mine fav and running on all my servers. Earlier i used debian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Gentoo.... Using that is like brushing your teeth with an industrial pressure washer. Sure it works great at cleaning your teeth, but there are much less painful ways to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Gentoo is basically a meme at this point, I used to build that for the first xbox, when I had more time then sense. Still use Debian as my day to day laptop os and FreeBSD on everything else. I at one point used a bunch of different OS, now its just those.

b0N3z Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have stuck with Linux Mint for years because of how easy it is. I started on Ubuntu 10.04. Over the years I have at least installed and tried for a day or two... kali, parrot (home,media,pentest), Ubuntu and all its flavors, arch, Fedora, Suse, Tails, the list goes on At the end of the day I always go back to Linux Mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyaction Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Mint for day to day dekstop use and parrot for pentesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 There is a place in Minneapolis that refurbishes and recyles electronics. They are called "Free Geek Twin Cities". I pruchased one of their faster Xubuntu machines (a Dell Optiplex) for around $120. It is loaded and ready to go and so easy to use. With office Libre installed, microsoft can sniff my undercarriage. Oh and there was the additional cost of a monitor, 10 bucks or so and a mouse and keyboard, about 2or 3 bucks each. Awesome value!!! A truly power up and fly situation - gotta love it!!!
