Hello everyone, I must say that within my few weeks of being on the site I am enjoying the community immensely and want to see it and help it grow! That being said, I wanted to pose the question: What do you think of Kali Linux. Or in a more broad sense, what OS's,VM's or distros (if running linux) do you prefer. Thanks for any input, Cisco thumbs up

Kali Linux is a nice OS very useful and a must have in your tool kit.

"Or in a more broad sense, what OS's,VM's or distros (if running linux) do you prefer."

It would all depend on what use case you were looking for, for web server I would go with Fedora.

Hey thanks for the reply! I am teaching myself how to Kali Linux and utilize its broad arrangement of tools, very useful I think. And Fedora for a server, I will have to research this one more in depth, thanks. :D Any opinion on virtual machines? i.e. preferred Vm and what you usually run on it/use it for.. just curious to see what others are running as im setting up my own..

What virtual machine I prefer?

Answer: Virtual Box

I never specified an OS, so do you know the difference between an OS and VM?

I figured that was the case.
