Hi Steemit! Today I've got a nice hacker-ish distro for you: Parrot OS! Let's go though it's latest release details & info.
Announce
Lorenzo Faletra has announced the release of Parrot 4.6, an updated version of the project's distribution set designed for penetration testing, digital forensics and privacy protection, all based on Debian's "Testing" branch. Besides the usual builds, this version ads a new ISO image - Parrot Security featuring the KDE Plasma desktop: "We are proud to announce the release of Parrot 4.6, an important Parrot OS update that comes out after three months of heavy development. When we first added KDE, it was an experiment. We love MATE but we'd heard great things about KDE and decided we could try and support two desktop environments. Because of the work required to change everything from MATE to KDE, we started with KDE Home. The feedback was immediate, you guys loved it. The recurring request since has been: 'how do I add the tools?' We heard you and it is finally here! A Security edition featuring the KDE Plasma desktop environment. We now offer both MATE and KDE images for the Home and Security editions." Read the rest of the release notes for a list of system changes and updates.
