What you guys think of Kali Linux 2.0? I think its a little to modern and has a few lag issues (Screen freezes for a sec always once a while). But other wise i kinda like it. It seems new because i have always used to windows 7 and below.
-
Have performance (graphic) issues with it, too. This isn't the case with Kali Linux 1. But I don't think it's "too modern" (don't even really know what you mean by that, tbh. Do you mean you don't like Gnome? You're not alone then :D).
-
Metasploit runs really fast, drivers are really suitable for my computer + my USB WiFi.
Icons are cute, Desktop is easier to use and I had no performance issue.
So generally it got really better for me. (on Kali 1.0.5 I wasn't able to use text/graphical mode because of the drivers issues of ATI)
P.S.: I think 1 didn't have gedit, did it?

Thats exactly what i meant. Im probably going to switch toafce4. I think the performance issues are from Gnome because Kali Linux 1.x used GNOME 3.04 (Debian 7 ) and now Kali 2.0 uses GNOME 3.10 (Debian 8 ).

Im pretty sure 1.x had gedit. I at least custom installed it. Cant remember.

I did a reddit post for installing kali sana tools ontop of crunchbang++
https://www.reddit.com/r/crunchbangplusplus/comments/3hrere/cbppkali_add_kali_2_pentest_tools/
Much better performance
To summarize:
From a fresh install of CBPP:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listAdd at bottom:
#Kali 2
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-freeCTRL + x to quit, y to save, ENTER
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kali-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kali-linux-all* (NOTE: Takes a while to d/l and setup all the kali packages, be prepared to press ENTER a few times to accept defaults)
(I keep mysql passwords blank)
(Path to metasploit framework - for veil setup: /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ )
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade(NOTE: this ^ will install Kali Kernel 4)
-To get kali menu in right click OB-menu:
sudo apt-get install openbox-menu
sudo apt-get install lxpanel
sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
geany ~/.config/openbox/menu.xmlAdd:
<menu execute="openbox-menu" id="desktop-app-menu" label="Kali Menu"/>*(NOTE: I added it after </item> Line #52 // You can pretty much add it anywhere within reason) (You can change 'Kali Menu' to whatever, just note that because of the amount of tools, it will take a few seconds (dep on CPU) for the menu to appear.)
Save and exit geany.
openbox --restart(or logout and log back in)
*Note: Before you launch msfconsole or armitage, you will need to run:
sudo msfdb initFin.

Ill be remastering when I am done customizing my own.
I can post the ISO if anyone wants to request it.

@MrSigma - Quick advice: Avoid double posts and full quotes.
@0E 800 - Thanks, I'll try that later. Helpful as always - +1 :)
