Power Users, Webdev and Hacking Tools V0.2

_DISTROS FOR POWER USERS_

>Arch Linux
To learn more about Linux, to have the newest software or for extreme personalization, it has the best wiki to go from intermediate user to pro.

>Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre
Using only free software to avoid propietary, removed binary blobs and any obfuscated code. Fully compliant with the Free Software Foundation.

>Qubes OS
Security exponentially increased, but at a price.

>Replicant OS
A replacement for the closed sourced Android, this is meant for your smartphone.

>PupNGo Linux
For a more minimalistic distro or for really (REALLY) old computers with but with an impressive set of software.

>Linux From Scratch
Only for the experienced user who knows how to compile programs (NOT FOR NOOBS), this will make you a wizard (and hirable for many jobs).

>Alpine Linux
Ultra secure Linux server and firewall.

>Metasploitable (and Kioptrix)
Used for penetration testing AS A TARGET. NEVER connect this disto directly to the internet, configure the virtual machine to a bridged connection BEFORE booting it.

Special mention: Gentoo. Very good for configuration or for learning purposes, but you would either want to use Arch or LFS for either of those reasons.

Source Mage. True source-based distribution. In contrast with Gentoo:
>It is free from obfuscated and pre-configured code
>Uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package
>Without 3rd party patches, "sensible defaults" or masked packages
>It doesn't need obfuscated python libraries neither, only bash
>Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
