Kali 2 as a long term everyday Linux #1: why it may be useful to you

This educational tutorial is aimed to who isn't afraid by the command line and wants to upgrade the everyday PC to an easy-to-use,  powerful, security-probing-ready, rolling Linux, backed up by a large active community. The goal here is to ease the upgrade of your current pc to such a powerful tool, with simplicity and  efficacy.

Kali 2.0, formerly Backtrack, has been released august 11, 2015 just before DEFCON-23.



I think it's mature enough to be adopted as an everyday long-term Linux:

• Based on Debian Jessie stable.
• Major security probing tools installed and updated.
• Kernel and drivers already patched for wifi security probing.
• Security tools updates are monitored and updated from Debian testing or from their own repo.
• Freedom of choice on windows managers, kali's team choice is Gnome 3.
• Rolling release, low obsolescence.
• Runs on many platforms, included Raspberry Pi 1 & 2, Beaglebone, Chromebook, Mac, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and even smart-tv pendrives.

While I appreciate Arch Linux for its fine trimming capabilities, it's a time consuming choice for my work lifestyle. A rolling Debian has the power and flexibility I need, and in the long term it saves me a lot of time compared with other Linux distributions. Debian constraints are acceptable for me. I used Ubuntu, but as a CyberSecurity professional i prefer Kali.
Kali can be installed on a Mac or in a VM, but these specific details are not covered here. For ChromeBook hints please start looking here.
