Oddly enough, I gave Kali a go yesterday. I haven't used it since it was
Backtrack and was surprised to see everything all GNOMEd up and juicy
and sparkling with lag and useless eye candy. Right away I checked to
see if they cared enough to remove systemd. Nope. I shut her down and
kept going with nmap for the time being - and until I educate myself on
some of the new toys. Right now I don't have time for fancy toys
especially if they spend all their time being fancy and sparkling.

Yes, I would love to have a toolbox for pen testing that was minimal.
Mind you, I don't do pen testing for a living - it's just a turf check.
