You use Kali as a day to day OS? May I ask why o.o
I mean, it is Debian based so I don't see why not but...it's Kali.

You all got the easy way in... I got irritated with WinXP, so I handed the machine to the linux sysadm at the local casino and said "just make it not windows and ill be happy". What I got back, was a complete barebones ArchLinux install. Had to figure all the stuff out myself so I could actually use the thing.

The package manager isn't that hard, its the fact that this was 2004, LONG before broadcom started building their drivers for non-windows

Their drivers for Linux are still terrible. My laptop uses their drivers and I have an issue with random kernel panics that I CANNOT DEBUG FOR THE FUCKING LIFE OF ME.

Sadly though, broadcom and android are pretty similar..its easy to make, hacked together, and cheap. likewise it's not very good. I've been running gigabit lines through every house and apartment ive lived in since 2008.

Kali Linux, learned to use sql injection and got to see some cool information like root of the website, admin login, admin pass etc.

Debian. I'm on Arch now and I'm really liking it.
