The project has a very precise mission: provide a wide variety of security tools in a live (and installable) package. That is not to say Kali isn't a good distribution. In fact, the Kali website specifically warns people about its nature. Nothing on the project's website suggests it is a good distribution for beginners or, in fact, anyone other than security researches. The project switched over to a rolling release model earlier this year in an effort to provide more up to date security utilities to the distribution's users.īy the time I was finished my trial with Kali Linux I was more puzzled than when I started as to why I keep hearing about new Linux users installing the distribution. Kali Linux is designed with penetration testing, data recovery and threat detection in mind. Kali Linux, which was formally known as BackTrack, is a forensic and security-focused distribution based on Debian's Testing branch.
DistroWatch has a full review of Kali Linux 2016.1 and doesn't think it's really appropriate for beginners.
Kali's focus is on security and forensics, but some Linux novices have been installing it without knowing much about either thing. Kali Linux is bird of a slightly different feather, in terms of Linux distributions.
