Continuing on with the dissection of the anatomy of Linux you may remember that I rambled on a bit about how the kernel modules are used to access the various hardware devices on the computer. This makes the Linux kernel soNot just hardware either. Other things like file systems, networking protocols and lower level stuff (real technical term there :) ) can be and are handled by kernel modules. MORE

Most people assume Linux is secure, and that’s a false assumption. The negative career implications of choosing not to harden your Kali Linux host are severe, so I’ll share the necessary steps to make your Linux host secure, including how I use penetration testing and Kali Linux to get the job done. It’s important to note that, while they are many distributions (AKA distros) of Linux and each one differs from the command line perspective, the logic is the same. MORE

There are simply too many reasons to choose Linux and I have come to the conclusion that it is just not practical to go over them all. For a start I will come across as a Linux fanatic (well I am but that's beside the point) and it will also get old and boring very quick (much like I am in real life) So I will conclude this ramble on why people choose Linux in this final batch of monkey key presses MORE

Previously I said that the most popular reason people say that they choose Linux is because it is free as in beer. It is not, however, the only reason people choose Linux. Some people choose Linux because it is not a proprietary operating system. Well, it seems that I have more to say on this subject than I thought I would. This is not a financial decision but more like a MORE

You may think this is going to be another rant on Linux being so good because it is open source and free and Linus Torvalds is god and this and that but it is not going to be like that.

The most common complaint I am informed about regarding Linux is that it is hard to use. So I am going to compare some common tasks between Linux, windows and macos to see if Linux is really that hard to use. Personally, I find this complaint very puzzling.
