    Say someone wanted to learn linux, what is it they are actually learning seeing though there are 1000 linux OS's out there.

    Just get hold of a few and run on a VM, Ubuntu CentOS or if you fancy hacking stuff, have a crack with Kali. Also you can get hold of a mac and use that as that is unix based.

    You want to learn the command line, typically bash.

    You pick Ubuntu, Centos, Kali, doesnt really matter. The kernel and the CLI is the same in all of them.

    You can use a vm, docker or vagrant to get into it on Windows. Windows also has an experimental bash shell now.

    You can even buy a a raspberry pi and use linux on that.

    Take this course here.

    Is Kali a free Distro?

    I would like to use it for Sec Ops study.

    Thank you mate. Going to get it onto a VM for the Cyber Ops. Trying to get as much done before hand as possible so I can go straight into it.

    Theres lots you can do with Kali and after seeing a job for a security analyst for £39k its got the cogs turning in my head. Something to aim for perhaps, however Kali in itself wont be enough, I would need to know a lot more than that
