Pentoo Linux for Penetration Testing - Review and Commentary

,----[ Quote ]
| Pentoo linux is a Gentoo-based live CD with a 
| selection of apps and tools designed to perform 
| penetration testing. They recently released 
| their 2009.0 version and we thought we'd take 
| it for a spin and share our findings.

Exherbo Install Process

,----[ Quote ]
| So basically, if you can install Gentoo, with 
| or without the handbook, you can install 
| Exherbo. Granted at the moment Iâm installing 
| in a VM but that shouldnât make much 
| difference. Itâs just easier for me to start 
| over. Though I havenât so far. On the same hand 
| though I donât recommend starting with the pre-
| made VM on the Exherbo website. The one for 
| VirtualBox at least was so outdated I couldnât 
| get paludis to work properly to save my life. 
| No matter what I did it just kept bombing 
| because packages had invalid tags on the end of 
| the names. Apparently paludis 0.3x.x.x doesnât 
| like having âbeta1â or ârcâ on the end of your 
| package ID.

,----[ Quote ]
| Potential users often ask whether Exherbo is stable. To test this, I decided
| to reinstall everything on my Gentoo desktop and my Exherbo laptop.

Review of Exherbo Linux (From A Userâs Perspective)

,----[ Quote ]
| Exherbo is a Linux distribution led by a small team of opinionated
| developers. Itâs lean, to say the least, but when they give you a solution
| for something you can believe itâs well engineered and that it does that task
| well - nothing more.

Never heard of Exherbo? You will in the future

| It's really not that we don't want users or developers - it's just that the
| time for that hasn't come yet and I wish people writing articles and
| commentaries about Exherbo would understand that or at least ask us about our
| intentions before spreading these misconceptions any further. Hopefully I've
| made it a little more clear now.

Announcing Exherbo!

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source is said to be about scratching your particular itches - and I've
| been working my butt off for the last several months along with a small,
| select team of developers doing just that.
|
| All our hard work have so far resulted in a very experimental linux
| distribution that's definitely not ready for users yet (or even developers)
| but does have quite a few interesting ideas and features.
