Can anyone tell me what the standard setup would be for a linux box to be used for hack/crack testing? What type of options, desktop/server/programmer, what services? I need to build a box for profiling.
Cheers

Ok, I have been running linux for only a few months but have had no problem with X. But i see that many of you do not like it. For you newbies to Linux who want to keep x but dont want to go around changing files right away to get linux to goto console mode just press ctrl+alt+F2.
You can actually use F1-F6. F7 is for X but I have noticed that ps-doom (a neat system admin program) runs on tty8 or F8.
Just my thoughts.
I also run windows just because I have too much software for it to get rid of it.
Also as far as vi goes, I say learn it first. Yes it is a pain but what better way to master something then to start with the hardest stuff. Then the easy stuff seams almost kidish. But I wouldnt advise doing everything hard from the start. <e.g. installing linux under expert mode.>
