Problems, yes sure. What about attacking your network AKA pen testing.
Have you heard of the metasploit framework? I need to learn more about
that and some of the other automation tools. It's nice to be able to
throw a bunch of attacks at your network before others do. That seems to
be the purpose of Kali and it's predecessors. I don't know if I would
call it a troubleshooting tool. It's possible to troubleshoot network
problems with Windows.

Though I agree that the point and "grunt" style is a bit useless. Which
is why I wondered why Kali had a full blown GNOME. What about XFCE or
openbox? Something minimal please.
