Hello,
I come again seeking advice: I must choose a Linux distribution since I am taking soon Computer science lectures. But it is a long cursus (+5 years) and I wish not to re-install new distributions as I make progress through the years.
Thus I am seeking direct acquaintance with the most appriorate O.S to practice CS: Kali Linux.
First I want it as a standard distribution, then using its specific tools with more and more knowledge. But is this even possible?
These are my daily software needs (not much as you will read):
- LibreOffice writer
- Photofiltre
- a PDF viewer
- Mozilla Firefox
- and a software to watch video or audio files.
So, can I use Kali Linux as a kind of Ubuntu UNTIL I know what to do with it (from zero to mastering student to OSCP candidate)?
I already used Ubuntu a couple of years ago when Windows let me down and it was awesome, great: really 5/5.
Here is the configuration of my current computer (my "box"?):
DELL
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400
@ 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz
RAM 4,00 Go
System 64 bits, x64
Winddows 10 Professionnal (not for long anymore !)
The course revolves around: cybersecurity, networks, coding (Python, Java, C+), architecture, discrete maths.
Thank you for your help.
