Study & Write T13 (Two Linux distributions comparison)
In this post I would like to compare two Linux distributions. For this purpose, I chose Ubuntu Linux and Kali Linux.
Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu
is a Linux based Operating System that belongs to the Debian family of
Linux. It was released on 20 October 2004. Ubuntu is free to use and is
open source. It was developed by a team “Canonical”. Ubuntu consists of everything that is needed for everyday use: Mozilla Firefox browser, video and audio viewers pre-installed with many other useful applications for regular users to download. Also, Ubuntu has a Ubuntu Sever variant that is used for servers. Ubuntu Server is efficient for building top-performance, flexible, and secure data centers. Moreover, Chinese version of Ubuntu is used for running the world’s fastest supercomputer. Ubuntu uses KDE desktop environment and has a user-friendly interface that is perfect for Linux beginners.
Kali Linux
Kali Linux, just like Ubuntu, belongs to the Debian family of Linux. It was developed by “Offensive Security” and released in March 2013 as a replacement of the BackTrackOS. Kali is free to download and is open source. Kali Linux is specially built for penetration testing, reverse engineering, digital forensics and security research, therefore, it is actively used by digital security researchers and hackers around the world. Kali has more than 600 tools for security testing, such as Wireshark, John the Ripper, Ncrack and others. Kali Linux has a GUI that is limited and constrained for purposes related to security, therefore, it may not be easy to use by Linux beginners.
