From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I remeber testing parrot a few years ago, it was quite nice back when I tested it, had some real cringe marketing back then, way worse then it has now by quick glance, that being said, it had some real good OOB configs for security stuff and some neat tools. wouldn't mind trying it again sometime when I find the time.
