An anonymous reader writes: Kali Linux 2.0 has been released, together which an assortment of interesting new features. Most importantly, Kali is now a rolling distribution, using Debian Testing as their upstream source. (Download page.) There are also huge changes to the UI, including a fully fledged, custom GNOME 3 environment, as well as support for myriad other Desktop Environments. The maintainers describe the release this way: "If Kali 1.0 was focused on building a solid infrastructure then Kali 2.0 is focused on overhauling the user experience and maintaining updated packages and tool repositories." I'm enjoying 2.0 so far. What are your thoughts and comments?

Ubuntu still has the user base by innerpeace · 2015-08-11 12:29 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Since I custom configure my computer, it doesn't make much difference which Linux distro under the hood, as long as it works. Having used Linux since RedHat 7, I've tried several dozen distros over the years. What I most like about ubuntu is that for almost every problem I've had, I've been able to google it and find somebody else who's not only had the same problem, but also solved it. I have not this kind of experience with any other distro. I doubt Kali has anything close. PS. I also have a really old computer I use for browsing on which I run LxPup. Woof!
