Linux rumor - Bezz - Oct 18, 2011
Is it true that Linux is best for hacking? Or is it any difference at all?

What makes difference is the person managing the OS, not the OS itself.

stuff like BB(blackbuntu) BT(backtrack) are linux OS's MADE for hacking, all it is, is they have basically all the tools you'll ever need already installed from my understanding. But like join said the person behind the OS is wat matters not the OS itself, you can be the best hacker in the world and only use windows 98, its just the knowledge of the person.

I personally use Linux (Backtrack 5) with a WindowsXP VMBox.
This allow's me to easily have any tools I may need easily at the ready, as well as a Windows operating system for anything windows specific (Such as .NET).
I personally just prefer Linux over Windows when it comes to hacking.

The common server operating system has nothing to do with how well you can hack it from any other system.
The only difference would be, if you were using a linux operating system, you MIGHT already know some of the linux commands used on servers.
They take about 5 minutes to find and learn so I wouldn't base an operating system choice on a common server OS.
